Terming family businesses
important for economies around the world since times immemorial,
President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday said these contributed 60-70
percent to the Gross Domestic Product of India and 40-50 percent to its
employment sector.
"...while family is one of the oldest
surviving social systems, family business is the oldest surviving
economic system. Business history is witness to the fact that most
countries have family businesses playing significant roles in the
development of the economies in their respective countries," the
president said.
He was speaking at a book release function at Rashtrapati Bhavan here.
Mukherjee,
who received the first copy of the book 'Indian Family Business
Mantras' from union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu, said
that family and business have been interconnected for a long time.
The
real life examples given in the book offer meaningful insights into
business families on managing themselves effectively, dealing with
conflicts and challenges as a family and the strategic value of staying
together as members of the business family, he said.
The book has
been written by Peter Leach, a business advisor, teacher and
facilitator who works with family business owners globally, and
Tatwamasi Dixit, a Chennai-based consultant.
Dixit said he along with his co-author had tried to highlight good practices of family businesses.
"The
book will help people to do well in their family businesses as we have
tried to explain how a family business could do well generation after
generation," he told agency.
On the occasion, Naidu appreciated the
effort of the authors in bringing out the book and said that strong
Indian family values were good for family businesses.
