What Sustains Enterprising Families Across Generations

This book presents an in-depth empirical study of food and plastic family-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs), tracing their histories, organizational evolution, and generational transitions. Beginning as small, traditionally managed firms, these businesses have adapted over time, with some emerging as medium-scale, semi-professional entities, while a few have grown into large, professionally managed corporations. Focused on the development of tacit knowledge through innovation, this study explores the "3Ms" framework and its role in sustaining these enterprises across generations. The concluding chapter synthesizes key findings, addresses initial research questions, and highlights the divergent paths of family firms in food production versus plastics, where tacit knowledge proves less relevant amid modern technological trends. Offering insights into nurturing innovation and upgrading product quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lee Kean Yew, Ph.D. is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chinese Studies, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia.

Anthem Series on Development in Africa and the Diaspora

Narrates the story of Cape Town's Africa Café and introduces the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Framework for Africa (SEFA), explaining how excluded entrepreneurs build and convert social, cultural, human, and political capital into financial capital across Africa and its diaspora.
In 1992, in a small house in Cape Town's Observatory neighborhood, Portia Mbau began serving dishes gathered from her travels across the continent. What began as a family venture grew, with her brother Hector's marketing and brand vision, into the Africa Café, a celebrated cultural enterprise at Heritage Square that seated the world at a communal table for nearly three decades before closing in the collapse of global travel in 2020. This book is the first full-length scholarly study of that enterprise: what one family built, what it meant, and what it teaches. 
The book is built on primary interviews with Hector Mbau and sustained fieldwork in Cape Town, including the township of Langa. From this single richly documented case, it develops an original theoretical contribution, the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Framework for Africa (SEFA). SEFA integrates the five forms of capital (social, human, cultural, financial, and political) with the constraints of post-colonial economies and the linked processes of value creation and value capture. Its central mechanism, capital conversion under constraint, explains how entrepreneurs excluded from formal finance build the forms of capital available to them and convert them, through the value they create, into the financial capital the system withheld. The framework is stated in testable propositions, with explicit boundary conditions. The argument then travels. Comparative chapters set the Africa Café alongside township enterprise, continental African entrepreneurship, and the historic Black business districts of the United States, from Greenwood in Tulsa to Parrish Street in Durham, Jackson Ward in Richmond, Sweet Auburn in Atlanta, and Farish Street in Jackson, districts that built every form of capital except the political capital that might have protected them. A full chapter grounds the framework in the philosophy of Ubuntu, engaging both its promise and its critics. The book speaks to scholars and students of entrepreneurship, management, African studies, and development; to policymakers concerned with enterprise and empowerment; and to general readers drawn to the story of what one family built, what it meant, and what it teaches.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Africa and the Diaspora

Dieses Buch beleuchtet die Unternehmensnachfolge konsequent aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Perspektive und führt Schritt für Schritt durch alle Phasen des Unternehmensnachfolgeprozesses – von den ersten Überlegungen über die Vorbereitung und Umsetzung bis hin zur Übertragung der Eigentumsrechte. Dabei verdeutlicht es die Komplexität der Nachfolge ebenso wie die damit verbundenen Chancen und Risiken für übergebende Unternehmer und ihre Nachfolger. Checklisten ermöglichen die konkrete Vorbereitung und auch die Koordination der einzelnen, erforderlichen Akteure (Berater, Anwälte, Nachfolger etc.). Ziel ist es dabei, ein wohlbestelltes Unternehmen an einen Dritten zu einem fairen Preis zu übergeben und damit den Fortbestand des Unternehmens zu sichern.

We’ve been on a raucous, century-long merry-go-round of dueling ideas and personalities: efficient versus inefficient markets; rational versus irrational investors; concepts of risk so profoundly different they don’t seem to reside on the same planet; rich families for whom money is among their least important characteristics; bitter, lifelong feuds. Along the way we’ve met some odd characters and had some amusing experiences.This book brings together the foundational ideas that have shaped investment and wealth management over the past hundred years. Curating thirty landmark works—from Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor to contemporary classics on behavioral finance and family governance—the book offers a structured guide to the principles, strategies, and philosophies that underpin successful wealth stewardship.Organized in three parts, the book surveys twentieth-century investment breakthroughs, twenty-first-century innovations, and the emerging canon of private wealth management. Each chapter distills the essence of a classic text, explains its historical significance, and demonstrates its relevance for today’s advisors and families. Topics include modern portfolio theory, risk management, behavioral economics, family enterprise governance, and intergenerational planning.Designed as an accessible reference for practitioners and informed readers, this book addresses the complexity of managing family capital—taxes, trusts, governance, and human dynamics—while grounding practice in enduring ideas. By synthesizing a century of scholarship and experience, A Century of Wealth Management Wisdom provides wealth advisors, estate planners, and family office professionals with a definitive resource for navigating the challenges of preserving and growing capital across generations.Gregory Curtis&nbsp;

But the carefully cultivated façade hid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family business.
