This course introduces the participants to
concepts and skills related to entrepreneurship, leadership
and management of the family business. Theory-
related content combined with reflective teaching
methods provides with an opportunity to increase
participants’ understanding of family business
theory and practice with a particular focus on
social, cultural, institutional and affective
perspectives. Thus, this module aims to balance
theory and practice by symetrically attending to
the ‘family’ and ‘business’ domains as well as
their relationship from social, cultural and
entrepreneurial perspectives.
İn delivering the course, we will also invite
visiting speakers to the classroom. Guest lectures
delivered by
established practitioners in their fields will bring real
life observations into classroom setting and help to
bridge theoretical insights with practical wisdom and
experiences.
There will be seminars following the completion of
major family business perspectives. In seminars,
lecturers are essentially facilitators and advisors who
encourage participants to take gradual charge of their
own learning experiences. In lectures, in addition to the
theoretical underpinning of family business, you will
have an opportunity to debate the issues and
perspectives emerging from theory and practice of
leadership.
The assignments will help you to continuously reflect
upon what has been learned through lectures and
seminars and accumulate knowledge on the subject area
The teaching team will provide ongoing support with
scheduled assessment briefs for large groups as well as
in the format of one-2-one meetings.
