Register for the Family-Run Businesses Course: August 2009

 

The Asia Business Center has joined forces with the Center for Executive Education (CEE) to provide a cutting-edge course entitled "Family-Run Businesses: Succession Planning & Conflict Resolution to Grow the Enterprise." "There are only a few programs in the whole United States that address the complexities of family business," explains Prof. Teck Ho. "And yet, family business is the cornerstone of the Asian economy," he affirms.

To fill this need, Professor Ho joined forces with Professor Paul Tiffany to build a curriculum that covers the financial, legal and interpersonal aspects of family business, like family governance and legacy, as well as the implications of inheritance stipulations.

The week-long course will take place at the Haas School of Business from August 31- September 4, 2009. The course is open to business leaders involved in any aspect of family business.

To register, please visit the program's website, or contact Susan Quinn,
Business Development Consultant, +1.510.642.9167, email Susan.
