From the Paper:
"There are thousands of strong family businesses of every size and type and they share a great deal in common, with issues that are unique to family. In the modern research on business the family business still gets a lot of attention, as a viable and sometimes strong business model with many common potential strengths and potential liabilities to analyze and consider. One area of particular interest to those who research family business is communication as the connections and history of families can both strengthen and weaken this factor depending upon the family."
