About the Book

Family Wars takes you behind the scenes on a roller coaster ride through the ups and downs of some of the biggest family-run companies in the world, showing how family in-fighting has threatened to bring about their downfall. Whether it?s Redstone?s courtroom battles or the feud over Henry Ford?s reluctance to let go of the reins, the book reveals the origins, the extent and the final resolution of some of the most famous family feuds in recent history. Case studies in Family Wars include: Koch Industries The Reliance Story The Gallo Family Bata Shoe The Guinness Story The Pathak Family The Gucci Family With insight into issues such as boardroom power struggles, family succession battles and the consequences ? good and bad ? of nepotism, Family Wars offers practical suggestions for how similar problems can be contained and solved. Many of the world?s greatest businesses are family owned - but with this comes the threat of family fighting, sibling rivalries and petty jealousies. Family Wars is the dramatic story of the family feuds and bust-ups that have threatened some of the world?s greatest businesses. Covering families such as Ford, Gucci, McCain, Ambani and Redstone, this book is an astonishing expose of the way families do business and how arguments can threaten to blow a business apart. More than telling the stories behind some of these dramatic showdowns, Family Wars also provides valuable advice for anyone involved in running a family business. About The Author Grant Gordon is the Director General of the Institute for Family Business and a fifth generation member, and former senior executive, of a leading UK family business in the drinks sector. Nigel Nicholson is professor of Organizational Behaviour at London Business School and a leading writer, executive educator and broadcaster on business and Management.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
