Introduction

What is understood by the term ‘family business management’? Does it mean a business managed by one member of a family or by many members of a family who are retained in the business? It could be that all the family members who are part of the business have an equal share of the profits and therefore have an equal say in the decisions to be made in the business. Alternatively it might be that the family member designated as the Managing Director makes all the business decisions without necessarily needing to consult other members of the family.

However the business is organised, the understood view of a family business is that it is owned and run by a family, and members of that family work together to make the business successful. There are many variations of how the management of the business works, but ultimately it is a privately owned company and all the profits are retained for the benefit of the business and the family.

Managing the Family Business

A family run business has many different dimensions to the interpersonal dynamics compared to a public company that can make or break the owners. The dynamics of personal and professional issues combined create an added pressure which can hinder good business decisions. Unresolved family conflicts will undoubtedly be carried into the workplace and impact the motivation and productivity of everyone involved.

I have current experience of managing a family business where we find it is important to have our different areas of responsibility. I am the Managing Director and main Project Manager, then we have the Accounts and Admin Manager and the Chairman who presides over the meetings and keeps an eye on the overall direction and functioning of the business. We have found over the years that there are some important issues which have to be resolved in order to work compatibly together. Mainly they are the issues around boundaries. Respecting each other’s different skills and trusting they can do their job well are key elements. If there are new skills to learn essential training is offered to ensure that person can do the job effectively.

It is important to realize managing any business in today’s environment is a complicated process but when you have the added dimension of family dynamics it can so easily get out of hand. One of the crucial elements to resolve is the historic patterns of relating between family members. Usually there is a lack of awareness that these patterns exist because they are habitual and familiar. However once they start to impact on the effectiveness of the business these issues need to be considered so that changes can be made and the issues resolved. One obvious example is where a child works with a parent. It is usually difficult for the parent to see the child as a responsible adult and still treats that person in the old habitual way. The child might then feel devalued, disempowered and impotent because of the old habit of respecting and obeying the parent. This will produce a lot of frustration, anger or even rage generating manipulative and destructive behaviour.

Leadership

One of the key issues in a family run business is that of leadership. There has to be a leader whom everyone should be able to respect and is capable of making sound business decisions. If two family members are in a power struggle to be the leader then the business will suffer. I have seen this happen in a firm that was not between family members and it nearly brought the company down. Loyalties become divided and business decisions are often made for the wrong reasons resulting in loss of production and revenue. So when embarking on a family business the leadership needs to be decided at the outset. Once the decision has been made then the rest of the members working in the company need to support that decision and not undermine it.

There are different styles of leadership:-

The Autocratic Ruler -This sometimes works as long as the rest of the family are willing to do what he/she wants. But long term I don’t think the autocratic ruler is particularly good for business. When the time comes for someone else to take the helm there could be no one strong enough to fulfil the role.

An example of autocratic leader is the father of a family friend who was a successful plastics manufacturer. The son was encouraged to follow a path of water ski trick jumping and became a member of the British team. His father did not encourage him to continue in further education with the belief that the son didn’t need it as he would run the firm after him. The day came when the son could no longer continue with his sport because of injury and settled down the work in the business. After about six months he had a big falling out with his father and left. The problem then was he had no other skills options open to him other than selling insurance. After about 3 weeks he returned to work in his father’s business because it was very lucrative and had a level of status for him.

The Democratic Ruler – will encourage each individual to speak about their area of responsibility or their view of a business strategy. All members will be listened to respectfully and their view considered. This way a full and fruitful debate can take place in order to find the best decision for any one topic. New or younger family members will be supported to learn the business and encouraged to broaden their outlook so they become another valuable asset to company.

If the autocratic father had been more far sighted and encouraged his son to further his education, then find work with another company for a period of time and left him the option to come and work in the company when he had gained experience elsewhere, he would have benefitted from a more mature, confident, creative and experienced manager who could have brought new ideas to the organisation and participated fully in all aspects of the company policies. The son’s enthusiasm for modern technology could move the business forward into the modern age.

Understanding web design is a specialist skill and managing the expectations of the client is an art.

Conflict Resolution

Family businesses can be a minefield of unresolved conflict and resentment. It is important to find healthy ways of settling conflicts before even embarking on the path of family business management. When we first set up together in our family business we agreed that if we were not happy with some behaviour or something that was said, then we would say how we felt and give the other person the opportunity to retract it in some way. The most important thing for us was to listen to each other and respect the other person’s point of view. So when difficult decisions needed to be made to ensure the survival and the profitability of the business, discussion and argument, chewing over the policies and relevant information were signs of healthy processes on which to base sound business decisions. By discussion and communicating our individual views and ideas we were able to arrive at agreed actions for the good of the business.

Attitudes and Values

Being part of a family business means for the most part the attitudes and values are shared. In a regular company there are many diverse attitudes and values which generate tensions when working together. Listening and understanding each other is Key to good working relationships. One of the benefits of having a family business is intuitively knowing the other members and being able to trust them with your life if necessary. Even if there are disagreements you will know exactly the integrity and reliability of each individual. (Or not as the case may be!)

Well Known Family Businesses

When looking at the commercial world there are hundreds of family run businesses both large and small. Some are very well known companies such as the Ford, Murdoch and the Mars family, others are only known locally like my family butcher. But whatever their size there are only a small percentage of businesses which have been successfully passed down through the generations.

Rupert Murdoch the son of Keith who started the original newspaper empire in Australia, has built up a huge global network of media and entertainment companies worth millions and is still in charge at 77 with his son James as a possible heir. In the case of Ford the family now in the fourth generation own 40% of the voting stock but Mars is still 100% family owned and is not floated on the stock market. Frank and Ethel Mars started the company in 1923 and were responsible for inventing the Milky Way Bar. Their Son Forrest argued with his father and the story goes that his father gave him a significant sum of money and said ‘go and run your own company’. He came to England and set up the factory in Slough making Mars Bars, later branching out into make pet food (Pedigree Petfoods) based in Melton Mowbray. His sons John and Forrest Mars Jr, were educated and trained to take over the business. When old Mr Mars retired he set up a small company making specialist chocolates so he would be kept busy while his sons got on with running the global business.

My local butcher Robert inherited his shop from his father who inherited from his father. The initial butcher had two sons who worked in the shop and now their sons run the business together which is still organised in the traditional way. It is very successful even during these times of crisis. The most famous family firm in the UK of course is the Royal family who live and work the business for life.There is a quite a revolution going on in the retail market today. Whereas shopping over the last 30 years has appeared to become a national pastime, many people are now turning to the internet to shop. So many businesses are waking up to the idea that if they want to survive the recession they need to offer their goods and services on line.

One of the values of allowing younger family members to be innovative is that they will embrace the growth of the new ecommerce web design market. One of our clients sells unique Birthday presents men really enjoy and it was the younger members in the family business that drove the online presence forwards.

The issue of family pressure and entitlement seems to be a major cause of over 70% of family owned businesses failing to survive succession.

There is an enormous list of larger family run businesses in the world. Often the creator of such family firms build up the business from the ground and once they become very successful the parent hopes the children will carry on the business. Sometimes this happens, but more often than not the children show very little interest in working as hard as their parent. They do not seem to have the motivation or drive to carry the business forward and often do not have the talent of the parent.

A good example of this is the Mower family that produced the Neways products which they sold via multi level marketing across the world. They had seven children and the father, who was an industrial chemist, developed a skin product for his wife who had always suffered badly from Acne. Once he started doing research into products available in the stores he discovered that they were full of chemicals that, as a chemist, he’d had to wear protective clothing when handling because they were considered dangerous. From this beginning he developed other health supplements and through the network marketing they became so successful they made millions of dollars. The children of the family having worked for a time in other companies came in to join the family firm. The claimed they would always keep the company in the family and it would never be floated on the stock market.

However as is the way of the world, success spoiled them. The parents suddenly separated and divorced. At first they announced they would continue to run the company together but in the end they sold it to a group in the Netherlands who now run the company. Although the Mower children had worked outside the family firm I always got the sense that they did not manage their departments particularly well and showed none of the talent and drive of either of the parents.

Inheritance

It may be important to tackle the issue of succession in the business especially if the owner of the business has more than one child. In many cases it is predictable the children will fight over the ownership of the business if it has not been made clear who will inherit. There may be a temptation to skimp on education thereby limiting the development of the successor. To avoid these kinds of situations one idea is to eliminate the feelings of entitlement. It might be just a matter of planning. Having a defined succession guide will enable the children to earn the right to succession and find their effective roles enabling them to work harmoniously together in the business.

Conclusion

Running a family business can be a rewarding and satisfying career with the added bonus of working in a familiar environment where trust is implicit. However family conflict will inevitably affect working relationships so it is preferable and healthy to separate business from personal matters. This allows the business owner to make decisions with less bias and more flexibility for the betterment of the company.

Even if all the members of the family do succeed in having a good business relationship, living separate lives outside of work with exposure to a greater variety of ideas and stimuli, which family members can bring to the workplace, will be of benefit. Probably the most important thing in managing a family business is ensuring that the whole family have a good relationship that will last even if the business doesn’t. Ultimately, blood is thicker than water and family is more important because the business can be replaced but your family cannot.

Hydrotherapy is a form of health treatment that uses water as a tool to relieve various aches and pains caused by a variety of ailments. Hydrotherapy uses cold water but most opt for submerging in warm water.

Nothing beats a extended soak in the hot tub’s warm water that is extremely relaxing. Hot tubs fit more than two people so having a hot tub party is absolutely possible. Discover more at our hot tub cover accessories page.

Selecting a hot tub for your house can be a bit difficult. Like other big acquisitions, there are a lot of vital deliberations. It is best to create a list of points and characteristics that you would fancy in a hot tub so that when you look around various shops or online stores, you can prevent wasting your time looking at hot tub makes and models you don’t like. Prices and designs of hot tubs vary considerably so make sure you do your inquiries and check out all manufactures and options before deciding on a specific hot tub.

If a hot tub is to be utilized all year round, the hot tub should have great insulation in order to hold the warmth and be well-built enough to withstand regular use. The installation location of hot tubs should be appraised to determine several security concerns especially if you have children and pets.

Hot tubs come in a assortment of designs, sizes and shapes. If you belong to a large family who would want to use the hot tub at the same time, get an appropriate sized one. You might also want to think about important features such as lights or side rails. Hot tubs come in various shapes like rectangles, circles, or irregular forms.

Maintaining the hot tub can be quite a chore. Make sure that you purchase a hot tub that comes with an effective filtration system that is designed to keep the tub and tub water clean. Most hot tubs have electronic monitoring filtration systems are accessible for people who tend to use their hot tubs a lot. Avoid purchasing hot tubs with various crevices and cracks because they are time consuming to maintain especially since the hot tub itself needs to be drained and sanitized every so often. Also, make sure and read this hot tub covers material to avoid contaminants such as leaves, dirt and litter from mixing in the water.

Among all the things to contemplate, the value of the hot tub is the most important. Some hot tub brands are more expensive than others. A high cost, high quality tub may be worth it for those who really enjoy using their hot tub frequently. For those who will only use the tub in periods, they can go for a mid-range priced hot tub that’s also high quality but may come with fewer special features.

If you’re in need of a bit of relaxation, take a dip in a hot tub and feel all your worries and aches vanish.

TAHITIAN NONI® Juice is a combination of the highest quality Morinda Citrifolia or Noni Fruit and grape and blueberry juices. It contains superior antioxidants, help support the immune system, enhances energy levels, speeds recovery after sports and supports a healthy heart by aiding the body’s natural defences against harmful free radicals. Noni

Free Radicals are atoms with an electron that will easily react chemically with other atoms in living organisms like our bodies. Free radicals have been associated with damage to human cells.

Many studies have shown that oxidation caused by free radicals within the human body is not always a good thing. Antioxidants, including the phytochemicals and Vitamin C in TAHITIAN NONI® Juice, help the body by improving energy/exercise endurance, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, supporting healthy/ proper immune system function and cardiovascular wellbeing.

Morinda Citrifolia or Noni has high levels of Vitamin C. Food safety laws require Noni fruit juice to be pasteurized. As with orange juice, pasteurization will reduce the vitamin C content, due to this vitamin being very heat sensitive.

Orange juice products like many vitamin C sources have ascorbic acid added to increase their potency. Tahitian Noni International has never added nutrients to its juice products. Vitamin C is not the only significant antioxidant in Noni fruit/Noni juice. Other antioxidant phytochemicals are present in the juice, which are classified as flavonoids, lignans, and iridoids. These are called novel compounds, meaning that they are newly discovered.

It is known that Noni juice has powerful antioxidant properties, increase energy/exercise endurance, helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and supports healthy/proper immune system function.

TAHITIAN NONI® Juice is a unique product. This super juice delivers the benefits of the Noni fruit in a simple easy to drink form. There are other Noni juice products available, but none can claim the same and manufacturing systems as TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. The process Tahitian Noni International uses and the choice to include puree in the juice, not just the liquid that can be squeezed from the raw fruit is not duplicatable.

As indicated at the bottom of all our web pages, these statements have not been evaluated by the US FDA and these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our website has the details and ordering information for Tahitian Noni products.

Looking for a great research tool? Try image search engines

All net surfers rely on search engines to lead them to the information they seek. Sounds obvious, right? Sure, if you’re looking for info on history, you’ll type ‘history subject-topic name’. Certain subject matters are best tracked down using search engines for links to sites of interest. However, some subject matter is best researched using the image search engines. For example, Google offers an image search mode, whereby you can type in your search criteria and have the results delivered in images pertaining to that subject. Searches using an image search engine can well deliver all you need to know.

Let’s say you’re looking for information on climbing roses. You’ve got a bare porch rail that could do well with a few climbing roses. Using the straight information search, you’ll be bowled over with thousands of sites with information on climbing roses. It may take you quite a bit of time to sift through these sites before you hit on the one which provides images and information you can use. If you avail yourself of the image search engine results, you can quickly scan through those images and visually zero in on the perfect rose bush climber suited to your need.

A picture is, indeed, worth a thousand words. Your image search may produce a pic of a yellow climbing rose, magnificently meandering along a porch rail just like yours. How long do you suppose it might take to hit on that site with a straight web search?

Image search engines also provide visual details you’ll never find in a text synopsis. What if you’re looking for vintage hats? A text search will produce tens of thousands of hits which will result in hours of clicking through to links which may or may not be of interest to you. On the other hand, using ‘vintage hats feathers’, on an image search engine will produce specific visuals that allow you to have the ‘aha’ moment as you see the perfect feathered vintage hat, just a click away.

The image search engines are of great benefit to artists. Let’s say you’re an art student, with an assignment in your composition class requiring the image of an apple. Whoa! Here’s where the image search engines excel. Use Google to do an image search on apples. You’ll turn up everything from classical art to pop art, all pertaining to apples. A text search on apples will turn up everything you ever wanted to know about apples, including pruning, choosing, eating and serving apples, but nothing you can use in your composition.

Here’s the rule of thumb. If you need information, use a text search. If visuals are all you’re interested in, use an image search. You can cut your research time in half!

If an image is worth a thousand words, then http://tiresforcheap.blogspot.com/ are worth looking for.

Additionally, avoiding cheap tire scams is important along with cheap tire performance.

If you have a website on the internet, it goes without saying that you will want as many visitors to your site as possible. Even so, you will want your site’s traffic to be targeted, meaning that the visitors to your site know what to expect when they get there. This will increase your sales, as the people visiting your site are going there for a specific purpose. You will need to do some search engine marketing to promote your website.

A great way of getting targeted traffic to your site is to make use of Google Adwords. Google is the most popular search engine on the internet, with over 200 million requests daily through its different services. If your website appears in the first few results for keywords that are being searched for relating to your site, you will be more likely to make lots of sales. One of the easiest ways to appear amongst the first results in Google is to take out a Google Adwords campaign.

Google Adwords are text based adverts relating to certain keywords that show up in the Sponsored Links section in prime position on the Google results. When you take out a Google Adwords campaign, you will choose the specific keywords you would like to target. These keywords usually relate directly to your site or what you are selling. Then, when someone searches for that keyword in Google, your text based advert will appear in the Sponsored Links section of the results pages. You will pay a cent per click rate, which is the amount of money you pay for each time your advert is clicked on. The more you pay the higher up in the Adwords results your advert will be. In addition to this, the added benefit is that the more times your ad is clicked on, the higher up your ad will be positioned and the less you will have to pay.

Your Google ad will contain some text describing your site, and perhaps even the keyword you are targeting, but the most important part of your ad is the Title Tag. This is what grabs the attention of the visitors and entices them to click on your link. Ensure that your title is truthful about what you have to offer, as this way you will have only valid click backs to your site, and thus will not waste money on the pay per click and will also have a better chance of a sale.

As you can see, Google Adwords are an excellent way of driving targeted traffic to your site, if the service is utilized wisely.

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is widely accepted as being far more flexible than other computer programming languages. How data is modeled and manipulated in the use of objects is fundamental to any object-oriented program. Details:C# Schulung(German).

To get a picture of object oriented programming, there are a few concepts you will require to become familiar with.

Class
A class is a blueprint or model that defines the variables and the methods common to all objects of a certain kind. You need it to be able to create objects from. Remember a class is just template for an object. Used in:WPF Schulung(German).

Object
An object is an instantiation of a class. It is a software bundle of variables and related methods. Software objects are often used to model real-world objects you locate in everyday life.

Behavior
An object is a software bundle of related state and behavior. To change an object’s state, one of the object’s behaviors must be used.

State
To define objects we have to define two things: state and behavior. A class’s state is represented by its member variables.

Abstraction
Abstraction is the process of extracting essential properties while omitting inessential details. It solves the problem in the design side while encapsulation is the implementation.

Encapsulation
Encapsulation hides the behavior of an object from its implementation. Data cannot be accessible to the outside world. Only functions which are stored in the class can access it. The idea behind encapsulation is to keep the data separate from the code. This is sometimes called data hiding. Encapsulation is one of the most important characteristics of an object oriented system. A very good way to improve your teams C-Sharp skills, is by booking a C# Schulung (German)}.

The shopping season is drawing closer and it’s time to buckle down and get my list straight. Each year becomes all the more difficult when you’ve got a daughter that’s getting gifts from multiple grandparents and then her immediate family too.

I used to be able to quickly and easily find items that weren’t just upgraded versions of what she already has. Who needs more dolls? I’m tempted to let her look at Liv Dolls, since they are a little different.

They have a couple of wigs and have an online world that she’s really interested in. Hopefully there aren’t too many weirdos lurking on the online part.

There’s also the Zhu Zhu Hamster that has caught my eye recently. Of course the issue there is that there are a bunch of them, not to mention all of the accessories! Just the habitat alone makes me wonder where in the world I’m going to put something like that.

I guess I could get rid of all of her furniture and just let the dolls and pet hamsters rule the roost. Seems like it will be a bit nicer in a couple of years when I just have to buy clothes. Of course, the main issue there is finding clothes that won’t just be returned the next day. Or worse, buying clothes that have her burst into tears (in a bad way) the moment she sees that I bought the wrong color or something.

Any ideas for gifts? Seems like it’s all just around the corner.

For a tree grown in over 70 countries, from Indonesia to Brazil, it’s curious how narrow a range of conditions is required to produce quality ‘beans’ and how relatively small the total output is.

The word ‘beans’ is deliberately in single-quote marks, since the thing that gets roasted and ground to make the drink isn’t really a bean at all, it’s a seed.

In particular, it’s the seed of a fruit that grows on trees that can easily reach twenty feet or more. Some wild varieties grow to over 45 feet or 15m. Most of those seeds come in a pair, though there is a variety that produces only one (the peaberry). The berry resembles a cranberry, with a sweet pulp covered by a membrane called a silverskin.

In a band around the equator from approximately 25 degrees north or south, comes the overwhelming majority of the world’s coffee output. Temperatures of between 60F (15C) and 70F (21C) are best as is rainfall of six inches per month or more.

Loamy, good-draining soil is needed and also helpful is high humidity – plenty of mist and cloud at the high elevations, over 3000 ft (915m) for the good stuff. At these elevations the oxygen content is lower, so the trees take longer to mature.

The robusta, or coffea canephora, goes into making the majority of coffee because it can be grown at lower altitudes and is more disease resistant. But it’s the high-altitude coffea arabica that forms the base of a gourmet cup.

Diffuse light and moderate winds are helpful, both of which are sometimes produced by deliberately growing in the shelter and shade. By contrast, wine grapes like hot sun and lots of it.

Once planted, the tree takes about five years to mature to first crop and even then a single tree will only make enough for about two pounds (1 kilogram) of coffee.

Those two pounds equal about 2,000 beans, (correct or not, it’s the standard term), usually hand-picked by manual laborers. Manual they may be, but ignorant they are not. Coffee bean harvesting is a skill developed over time, where the picker learns to select good beans and discard the bad. Bean by individual bean. That’s only one reason coffee is high priced.

The trees have broad, dark green leaves and produce a flower that resembles Jasmine. Some – in Brazil and Mexico, for example, – blossom over a six to eight week period. In countries that lie along the equator such as Kenya and Colombia, though, a tree can have mature berries growing alongside still ripening ones. That’s part of what makes picking such a specialty.

Blossom to harvest may cover a period of up to nine months depending on the weather and other factors and the cycle will be carried out for the life of the tree – about 20-25 years. With the best cultivation technology, a good harvest will be between 6,600 lbs (3,000 kg) and 8,800 lbs (4,000 kg) per hectare. (One hectare is about 2.47 acres.)

From these inaccessible regions, where conditions are harsh, the berries are brought down and processed to make up the world’s second largest commodity (by annual dollar volume).

So, the next time you savor that brew, give a thought to the long journey it traveled to reach your cup. It might make that high price seem less steep.

Test that attempts to find inbred intellectual power, rather than acquired ability.

It is nowadays widely thought that a child’s score in an iqtest can be affected by his or her environment, cultural and ethnic background, as well as teaching.

There is widespread scepticism about the accuracy of iq tests, however they are still commonly used as a diagnostic tool when children display learning problems.

The French psychologist Alfred Binet (1857–1911) devised the first intelligence test in 1905.

The IQ (from the German Intelligenz-Quotient), was coined by the German psychologist William Stern in 1912 as a proposed method of scoring early modern children’s intelligence tests.

It is calculated according to the formula: IQ = MA/CA x 100 in which MA is ‘mental age’ (the age at which an average child is able to perform given tasks) and CA is ‘chronological age’, hence an average person has an IQ of 100 ± 10.

Although the term “IQ” is still in common use, the scoring of modern IQ tests such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is now based on a projection of the subject’s measured rank on the Gaussian bell curve with a center value (average IQ) of 100, and a standard deviation of 15, although different tests may have different standard deviations.

Intelligence tests were first used on a large scale in the USA in 1917 during World War I for two million drafted men, and their subsequent widespread use for education and employment decisions has provoked protests from minority groups who contend the tests are culturally biased and discriminatory.

IQ scores have been shown to be associated with such factors as morbidity and fatality rate, parental social status, and to a substantial degree, parental IQ. While its heritage has been investigated for about a century, controversy remains as to how much is inheritable, and the mechanisms of inheritance are still a subject to some debate.

IQ scores are used in many settings: as predictors of educational accomplishment or special needs, by social scientists who study the distribution of IQ scores in populations and the relationships between IQ score and other variables, and as predictors of job performance and income.

The mean IQ scores for many populations have been rising at an average rate of three points per decade since the early 20th century with most of the gain in the lower half of the IQ range: a phenomenon called the Flynn effect. It is disputed whether these changes in scores reflect real changes in intellectual abilities, or merely problems with past or present testing methods.
