Entrepreneurial Family Firms provides an understanding of how to handle the intricate dynamics of the family and how to successfully launch, join or lead entrepreneurial ventures in which family is involved. ; ; Understanding the Family Business ; Because family and business are intertwined in several ways, it's necessary to understand the family in order to understand the entrepreneurial venture.
