Abstract
In a family business, the family takes on a special significance. It acts as a source of employees. It draws upon company resources. Its members even act as sounding boards and providers of new ideas. The personal goals of these people therefore critically affect the direction of the company. They are the single most important influence upon the business plan outlined in the last chapter.
