Family businesses face unique challenges in managing and growing the business, while nurturing family relationships and maintaining stakeholder relationships. Differences in generations, ownership structures and business maturity require different strategies for continuous growth and sustainability in emerging Asia.

The Asian Family Business Program is specially designed to address the needs of Asian family businesses and to help family owners and leaders design the most appropriate governance and ownership structures for their businesses. The program also provides strategic frameworks for sustainable business growth relevant to Asian families by incorporating our faculty's in-depth knowledge of Asian markets. Through relevant Asian case studies and interactive panel discussions with prominent Asian family leaders, participants will be equipped with best practices in managing family firms.
