New WSOM courses on family business

The WSOM and the Center for Family Business will offer two new family business courses in Spring 2025. These two courses are back-to-back, 1.5 credit hour courses that will meet on Mondays from 3:00-5:45 PM in PBL 05

• MGMT 320/420 Introduction to Family Businesses 1/13-3/3
o How do family businesses differ from non-family businesses in philosophy, ownership structure and succession
o Ways to navigate the unique opportunities and challenges in their evolution

• MGMT 321/421 Complexities of Family Businesses 3/17-4/28
o Understanding roles, expectations and balancing of stakeholders
o What to consider before working in a family business

There are no prerequisites and while the two courses build on each other, each can be taken individually. Both will include family business guest speakers.

The instructor is Cindy Steeb, Clearstead, Senior Managing Director of Trust Administration Services and author of Preserving Multigenerational Wealth.
