Course programme

The Indian and world economy are dominated by family owned businesses, which generate most of the economic output and wealth of a nation. In some regions of the world family-owned companies virtually control the economy. While family-owned companies are often strong competitors, they have vulnerabilities that need to be managed. A vast majority of family controlled businesses experience difficulties like moving from one-person general management to an institutionalized competence that results into competitive fitness across generations.

Keeping in view different issues which confront family managed business, Welingkar has designed PGDM Family Managed Business (PGDMFMB) program, which explores and analyzes best management practices in family-owned businesses, governance practices and family continuity challenges, including issues relating to first generation entrepreneurs.
