Book SynopsisBusiness transfer' refers to the transfer of ownership and leadership from one or more outgoing owner-manager(s) to one or more incoming owner-manager(s). Apart from all the company''s material assets, it presupposes that information, relationships, know-how and social capital are also transmitted from one to the other. While much of the research on entrepreneurship has focused on new business ventures, few studies have considered business transfers as an alternative way of embarking on entrepreneurial activities. Business Transfers, Family Firms and Entrepreneurship provides the international community with a more comprehensive state-of-the-art of business transfer studies, which will enrich readers' understanding. The business transfer is examined through different prisms: family businesses, internal business transfers to employees, external business transfers, and woman in business transfers.

Harriman House Publishing Life After Growth
Book SynopsisNEW PAPERBACK EDITION WITH ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTION AND END NOTE FROM THE AUTHORWhy, years after the banking crisis, is the global economy still mired in recession and burdened by enormous debts? Why have the tried-and-tested economic policies of the past failed us this time?In Life After Growth, leading City analyst Tim Morgan sets out a ground-breaking analysis of how the economy really works. Economists are mistaken, he argues, when they limit their interpretation of the economy to matters of money. Ultimately, the economy is an energy system, not a monetary one.From this, it follows that we need to think in terms of two economies, not one - a ''real'' economy of work, energy, resources, goods and services, and a parallel, ''financial'' economy of money and debt. These two economies have parted company, allowing the financial economy to pile up promises that the real economy cannot meet.Starting with the discovery of agriculture, Tim Morgan traces the rise of the economy in terms of work, energy and resources. The driving factor, he explains, has been cheap and abundant energy. As energy has become increasingly costly to obtain, the potential for prosperity has diminished, to the point where growth in the real economy has ceased.An immediate problem is that our commitments - including debt, investments and welfare promises - cannot be honoured, which means that we can expect the financial system to be wracked by value destruction. At the same time, we need to adapt to a future in which prosperity can no longer be taken for granted.

Palgrave MacMillan UK Family Business as Paradox A Family Business Publication
Book SynopsisRather than having to choose between the family and the business, the authors argue that if family-owned businesses can consciously manage and over time, perhaps, synthesize these contradictions, the Family Enterprise will have a long-term strategic and competitive advantage and the family will remain committed to continuity.Trade Review'Paradoxes are part of life and are especially evident in the family business. Family Business as Paradox is an excellent manual for how to manage paradox in the family business. The Polarity mapping model is well explained and can be a very helpful process in working through the many issues that family businesses encounter. This book will be helpful and empowering to any family business who wants to go from 'either/or' to 'both/and' in managing paradox.' - Mary Andringa, President & CEO, Vermeer Corporation (USA) 'The 43 years that I spent in our family business made me realize that managing paradoxes is crucial to family business success. One of Murugappa family's core values is to maintain a style of operations befitting our size, yet reflecting moderation and humility. The authors consider precisely such paradoxes in this book. More importantly, they provide a practical problem-solving framework to manage such family business paradoxes and the conflicts that arise as a result. This book is a must-read for all multi-generational families in business.' - M.V. Subbiah, past CEO, The Murugappa Group (India) 'This book comes at just the right moment for us. As we go through the process of transition to a fourth generation business, I found a fresh perspective on the issues we all know about. There are some really creative ideas as to how to build on the positives which we will use as we move forward.' - Thomas G. Bata, Chairman. Bata Group (Canada) 'Schuman, Stutz and Ward shed light and bring clarity to some of the murkier and more complex aspects of family business through their astute analysis of the inherent tensions and strengths of the many paradoxes that are family business.' - Robert Pasin, President & CEO, Radio Flyer Inc.(USA) 'Family business paradoxes are real and mutual acceptance of these paradoxes requires profound analysis. As an example, business transfer to the next generation always brings to the forefront many issues as the transfer is also an emotional process. I greatly appreciate the authors' long-term approach and focus on family businesses. I warmly recommend this book as essential reading for all family entrepreneurs.' - MaaritToivanen-Koivisto, President & CEO, Onninen Oy (Finland) 'The opportunity to honor tradition while remaining dynamic and relevant to current and future guests is both challenging to our management team and energizing. Until I read this book, I had not considered the many paradoxes that are inherent in family business and I certainly didn't realize that it was possible to have it all, to achieve both sides of the paradox, to have both tradition and change, to have growth and liquidity, to know that putting the family first may be in the best interest of the family business. I so appreciate the wealth of information presented in this book. Thanks to Amy Schuman, Stacy Stutz and John Ward for sharing all of this with us!' - Dini Pickering, Vice Chairman of the Board, The Biltmore Company (USA) 'The authors examine the reality of living and working with the ambiguities present in all family businesses and provide new tools for their analysis and objective understanding. This book will allow and encourage family business stakeholders to recognize problems as paradoxes and progress from instinctive to deliberate, explicit management. New skills thereby attained will be energizing and invigorating, providing leverage to capitalize upon effective family business dynamics.' - Alex Scott, Executive Chairman, Sand Aire Limited (UK) 'Paradox is normal in our family business. We allocate a lot of quality time in our family meetings to look for dual solutions. A common family mission mindset with real team spirit is essential to achieve long lasting commitment.' - David Lee, Chairman, Lee Kum Kee Co. Ltd.

In just a minute he would go into the house and greet his wife and children.

Emerald Publishing Limited Attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal
Book SynopsisAttaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education focuses on Sustainable Development Goal number four (SDG4): Quality Education for All. Examining family businesses in Australia, USA, Austria and Algeria, each case study presents a unique perspective from their respective country, analysing how SDG4 translates into ensuring inclusive, equitable quality education, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. The case studies presented generate insights and key takeaways into the role of family businesses in providing quality education for all. The United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals pledged by 193 nations in 2015 which would help engender an improved, fairer, and more sustainable world – one in which ‘no one is left behind’. The SDGs are a call to action, to develop innovative solutions to the most complex, societal, and environmental global challenges. In Family Businesses on a Mission, series editors Naomi Birdthistle and Rob Hales bring together international case studies to illustrate how family businesses can attain the UN 2030 SDGs. Accessible to those working in the field beyond academia – such as family business practitioners, family business owners, government and policymakers, members of NGOs, business associations and philanthropic centres – the book series equally appeals to those with a general interest in entrepreneurship and business.

Book SynopsisWorking as an independent contractor or in private practice is often the ideal scenario for creative therapists who want to control their own career and make decisions about the jobs and clients they take on.This practical guide to successful self-employment takes you through every step of the process, from coming up with the idea and marketing yourself, finding jobs, and interviewing, to maintaining jobs and what happens when you or your client want to end the job. Each chapter is packed with practical information and illustrative stories from the author's extensive experience of setting up her own art therapy business, considering all the likely obstacles you may face, and covering topics such as ethics and interns.This accessible companion contains all the information a creative therapist who wants to find work as an independent contractor will need to get started. It will be suitable for any level of experience and all creative therapists, including art, music, drama and dance therapists.Trade ReviewI could imagine adapting her [Emery Hurst's] suggestions for music therapy contexts and other populations, and therapists in other countries could learn much from Emery's strengths in self-promotion and positivity. I predict that this book will serve much like a "rough guide" when travelling. After gaining a sense of the key messages, therapists can return to relevant sections when they reach particular places in their contract work journeys. -- Nordic Journal of Music TherapyThe Art of Business: A Guide for Creative Arts Therapists Starting on a Path to Self-Employment" provides a fine key for therapists who seek to work as independent contractors or in private practicies, and provides specifics on successful self-employment strategies and models from locating a niche to marketing and finding jobs... From handling interns to making rounds and creating assessments, this is a solid guide to any who would successfully enter the self-employment market as an arts therapist. -- Midwest Book ReviewIn this thoughtful book, Emery Mikel imagines beyond limiting career options by combining convergent and divergent creative thinking to conceive this inventive, yet practical manual for self-employment... In these challenging economic times, expressive therapists deserve to be prepared for diverse vocational opportunities. In order to achieve this goal, sound business strategies are needed. This book presents a sensible foundation for skillfully joining personal creativity, vocational aspirations, and solution-focused strategies for contract work. -- From the foreword by Michael A. Franklin, Ph.D., ATR-BC, Professor and Coordinator, Graduate Art Therapy Program, Naropa University, Boulder, ColoradoThis book is very clearly written with good examples and comprehensive details describing the exact procedures of self-employment. Building a private practice is a process and you have to build it step by step. These steps are very clearly laid out by Emery Mikel. -- Susan Rancer, Registered Music Therapist, Founder of the Bay Area Music Therapy NetworkWhen becoming the President of AATA in 1977 (before there was a central office) cost me 50% of my clinic job, independent contracting not only restored the lost income, but also provided me with more free time to devote to the organization. The author's directness and ethical clarity about the need for continuing supervision and thoughtful reflection should make this book a useful guide for clinicians at all stages of professional development. -- Judith A. Rubin, Licensed Psychologist, Board-Certified Art Therapist, Author of 6 books and Editor of 9 films on art therapy, President, Expressive Media Inc.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Springer International Publishing AG Family Firms and Local Roots: Implications on
Book SynopsisThis book pursues an interdisciplinary approach to studying family firms as a particular type of business strongly embedded in the territories in which they are located. Featuring an in-depth analysis of original research, the book employs both theoretical and empirical approaches to explore family firms and their relationships with their home territories. The book shows that family firms have unique bonds with their local areas, and these bonds profoundly shape their decision-making and outcomes.The book addresses two research questions, namely, how the connections between family firms and their home territories originate and develop, and how they influence firms’ economic performance and their corporate social responsibility initiatives. Uniquely, it seeks to develop an integrated framework that brings together family firms, local contexts, and places while also presenting new empirical evidence of relevance to scholars, managers, and policymakers alike. In addition, the book responds to the need for a greater understanding of what anchors entrepreneurial families to their home territories and the conditioning effect of local roots on such firms’ behavior.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Defining and Understanding the Family Firm.- The Spatial Dimension of Firm’s Economic Activity.- Firms in Territories: the Local Roots of Family Firms.- Family Firms, Corporate Social Responsibility and Place-Based Enterprises.- Unveiling the Origins of Local Roots: A Case Study in the Chianti Classico Wine Cluster.- The Role of Local Roots on the Economic Performance and Corporate Social Responsibility of Family Firms: a Quantitative Analysis.- Conclusions

University of California Press The Freelance Editors Handbook
Book SynopsisA comprehensive guide to building and maintaining a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable business as a freelance editor. According to LinkedIn, more than twenty thousand people in the United States list themselves as freelance editors. But many who have the requisite skills to be excellent editors lack the entrepreneurial skills needed to run a thriving, fulfilling business. The few resources available to freelance editors, new and established, are typically limited in scope and lack the strategic thinking needed to make a business flourish. The Freelance Editor's Handbook provides a complete guide to setting up and running a prosperous freelancing business, from finding clients to increasing productivity, from deciding how to price services to achieving work/life balance, and from paying taxes to saving for retirement. Unlike most other books on freelance editing, this book is founded on a business-success mindset: The goal isn't simply to eke out a living through freelancing. Rather, the goal is to establish a thriving, rewarding business that allows editors to achieve their career goals, earn a comfortable living, and still have time for family, friends, and personal pursuits. Author Suzy Bills identifies multiple strategies and methods that freelancers can apply, drawing on current research in entrepreneurship, psychology, and well-being. This book is the ultimate resource for editors at all levels: students just starting out, in-house staff looking to transition, and experienced freelancers who want to make their businesses more profitable and enjoyable.
