Family Capital is a true differentiator between family-owned businesses and companies with a fragmented shareholder base. Family Capital expresses itself as the organization's culture, ethos, and network. While hard measures liking it to performance are elusive, Family capital clearly conveys powerful advantages.
A global Organizational Health Index database indicates that family-owned businesses enjoy a significant advantage in providing career opportunities to employees. This is a gap that grows even wider among Family Businesses in the top quartile of healthy companies. However, even the benefits of a positive family-oriented network can go awry in the mix of personal and professional tensions that may affect Family Businesses.
