Seminar: Avoiding Terrible Transitions in Family Business
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
8:30 am – 11:30 am
Opus Great Hall 201
Minneapolis Campus
$200 per family business group
Faculty members from the University of St. Thomas School of Law and the Opus College of Business will share guidelines that will allow family businesses to prepare for and work successfully through a variety of business transitions.
They will outline and discuss a process for planning for any type of business transition that takes into consideration all forms of capital (financial capital, human capital, market capital and family capital) together with all important stakeholder groups that will be impacted by the transition and should have some voice in the transition.
Family businesses can be impacted by a variety of transition points, including:
- Major business expansion
- Acquiring a business or being acquired by another business
- Change in management from one family generation to another
- Change in management from family member to non-family member
A research-based concept intended to explain why family businesses often outperform other business forms will be presented.
Invest in a morning that will help you and your family better prepare to make the most of your business investment during times of transition. The seminar is designed for multiple family members to attend for one fee of $200. This may include two or more family generations, spouses, siblings, or key employees who are not family members. Since space is limited, we need to have the names of all the members of your group that will be attending.
