How does the curriculum address the unique challenges faced by family business owners?
The programme addresses the complete spectrum of responsibilities that family business owners must balance—family, business, self, and ownership. It also acknowledges the significance of including other key stakeholders in the process by conducting specialised “Extended Learning Sessions” for family members and the leadership team in dedicated residencies.
How does the programme implement a hands-on approach to solving business owners' challenges?
Alongside academic rigour, the programme encompasses a Capstone Project based on real challenges faced by the learners in their family business.
