Family businesses are the predominant form of business organizations in the world contributing an estimated 70-90% of the global GDP. In the United States, family enterprises contribute over 64% of GDP and generate 62% of employment. Globally, family and privately held enterprises comprise between 90 - 98% of all businesses in certain economies.

This course aims to prepare future leaders to work effectively and professionally, in and with family firms, to launch and create cross-generational value and wealth in family firms. Course is open to all. No existing formal business experience or business idea required.
