How DSGS Ensures A Smooth Transformation In Family Businesses

A family-managed business is essentially owned and operated by two or more members of a single-family. Here, members may be related by blood, marriage or adoption. Decisions of strategic importance in a FMB are taken by family members/family patriarch, and typically, multiple generations of the same family are involved in the business senior management as well as executive roles may be occupied by family members and may be passed on from one generation to the next. Family-managed businesses comprise 70% of the total Indian industries and contribute to 79% of the national GDP.

Durgadevi Saraf Global Business School (DSGS) offers a Family Managed Business (FMB) program, which is an innovative 11-month Post Graduate course in Family Business Management.
