1) Why do you think there has been an increasing number of family business courses over the last 2 decades?
I think there has been an increase in the number of family business courses in the past 2 decades because the next generation now want to get the right knowledge before entering their businesses. People now want to study about family business so that they can have a better knowledge about it. The knowledge about it which we will get by doing this course is important before entering the business because it's a big responsibility to carry on the family business and in order to do that you must know how you want to run it for the business to grow. I want to get a greater understanding of how to run a family business.
2) Why have you opted for a course in family business management? Are you part of a family business? Tell us a little about it
My family is into textiles. I have worked in my family business before coming to do this course and am still working in it. I have opted for this course to learn more about how to run a family business and grow it even more. I want to learn how to shape myself and become an individual with a vision when I get back and start running my family business. I have selected this course because I am the next generation in my family to takeover the business and so I want to have the right knowledge before doing that.
3. What business benefits might accrue to the business from you enrolling in this family business module?
I will get to know how a family business functions and will also be able to get to know about different industries and experiences from other students which can help me later.
