Scholars of business and social sciences, lawyers, and people in family businesses explore the role of family relationships--social capital in capitalist thinking--in the operation and success
of family businesses. They consider understanding the elements of family social capital, co-constructing family-business social capital, and complementing social capital in family and business.
Among the topics discussed are the trust paradox of family business, an early warning system for family conflict, family rituals and communication in constructing family identity and social
capital, leveraging family member capacity for the business and the family, and the role of the chief emotional officer in putting family in family business. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc.,
