Review
"I like the entire book, particularly chapter 5. There are some good frameworks and an excellent guide for this most important aspect of FB dynamics. While there is much material on the subject, it is treated at a high level here, and with ways for students to wrap their minds around the topic."
"What I find compelling about the entire book is that Dr. Poza brings to bear all of his experience as both an academic and as a family business consultant to his book. This is one of those books where you know this is more than a text book written by an academic who has never practiced what he is writing about. Dr. Poza shows he knows about his topic first hand and has practiced what he suggests in each chapter. This is no typical textbook, but clearly builds on an interdisciplinary model of the field."
"Ernesto Poza is that rare combination of academic achievement and sound practical understanding. He has a thorough grasp of family business scholarship and broad experience in helping real business families through difficult transitions. Poza's Family Business, 3rd Edition, is the most comprehensive family business book in the field to date. It deserves to remain within arm's reach."

Do not buy the digital Kindle version! The Kindle version is not complete, it does not include all the cases that are in the actual paperback book. It is missing several important cases and information that you will need if you're using it in a college course. There was no information regarding this when I purchased it so now I will be forced to buy the hardcopy.

I paid 80$ for a brand new book and extra for expedite shipping. What I ended up getting was a clearly marked used book in big black writing on the bottom of it, yet the receipt that came with still shows that I purchased a "new" book. Very dissatisfied to say the least
