What are the limitations faced by a family-owned business?

What will be an ideal response?


Entrepreneurs tend to be specialists in an activity such as marketing, production, or finance, so they usually do not make good general managers. Another problem is that family managers may feel it is necessary to clear routine matters with the top family member, regardless of his/her position or ability. Also, bottlenecks that work against efficient operations can be caused by personality clashes and emotional reactions. The number of competent family members from whom to choose the managers of the company is usually limited.
