Background - Family Managed Businesses
In the next 15 years, 40% of India's large family businesses will undergo a handover from the founder to the second generation of owners, and 35% of them to the third or fourth generation. (Source CII Family Business Newsletter Aug 2016)
Contribution Of Family Managed Businesses In Corporate History:
According to CII, Family Business contributes 60-70% of the GDP of
most developed & developing countries.
According to Farhad Forbes, co-chairman of Pune-based Forbes
Marshall, also the current chairman of FBN (Family Business Network)
International, Globally, as well as in India, family businesses
contribute to over 70% of the GDP (size of the economy) of most
developing and developed countries.
In the case of India, this could be even more because every small
enterprise is family-run
Family Managed Businesses (small as well as large) have a
significant transnational presence – 35% of Fortune 500 are
family-controlled.
India’s largest companies (Ambani, Adani, Bajaj, Birla, Godrej,
Goenka, Hinduja, Tata, etc.) were once Family Managed Businesses
which have later transitioned into Professionally Managed Businesses
with the Owner's Family still owning a large part of these
Companies.
Problems Faced By Family Business
Family businesses have a long-term vision and tend to perform better than corporate enterprises. However, only 13% of family businesses survive to the 3rd generation and one-third of families disintegrate due to generational conflict. Indian family businesses form the backbone of the Indian economy and there is a need to extend the life span of these businesses to ensure the economy continues to benefit from their contribution. The rapid change in consumer preferences, the development of disruptive technologies, and the increasing complexity of the global marketplace are just some of the issues that family businesses must contend with. In order to stay competitive and remain relevant, owners must find innovative ways to ensure their businesses are agile, efficient and focused on long-term growth. Furthermore, in order to ensure their longevity, family businesses must be prepared to tackle the unique challenges that come with this structure, such as succession planning and managing multi-generational dynamics.
