Course Description:
More than 80% of the businesses in the United States are private entrepreneurships. Although there is a preponderance of "flag" brands throughout this country, the lifeblood of free enterprise is still the family operation. The blend of family values, family systems, and business operations can lead to a very challenging environment for ownership. The course will focus not only on the systems necessary to run a family business, but also on the psychological, human issues that inevitably arise. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.
