BA 463, Family Business Management Course
The Austin Family Business Program offers a four-credit family business management course at OSU for undergraduate and graduate students.
Course Description
The Family Business Management Course, BA 463, addresses aspects of managing an established family business, on a day-to-day basis and planning for succession to the next generation: values, life cycles, marketing strategies, succession, conflict resolution, communications, legal and financial aspects, estate planning, governance and philanthropy.
Family business issues of new companies are a small part of the course content; this is not a course in entrepreneurship or in small business management, and is not immediately relevant for students who want to start their own companies.
