PART I: THE SCHOLARLY VIEW OF THE MODERN FAMILY BUSINESS -- The Family Business; L. Collins -- What is the Contribution of the 'Family' to the Modern Business; L. Collins -- PART II: THE REAL MODERN FAMILY BUSINESS -- Brothers in Arms: The Story of Thorntons; L. Grisoni, L. Collins & P. Thornton -- Daughters in Charge; D. Otten -- Fathers and Daughters; L. Collins, J. Tucker & D. Pierce -- Brothers in Business: The Pakistani Family Business in the UK; R. Fakoussa & L. Collins -- Harmonising the Family Business: Deconstructing the DNA of the Family Business; C. Seaman & S. Graham.

Family businesses constitute over 70% of all business world-wide and while much attention has been focused on those with large turnovers, huge numbers of employees and dynastic ownership, very little research has considered the myriad and diversity of the majority. In addition, the accepted nature of the 'family' in business--traditional in view and classic in definition--seems to lag behind our modern concept of the extended, complicated and diverse character of the 'family'. Focusing on these two gaps, this bookconsiders smaller family-owned businesses which have features that have often been neglected. It aims to highlight the gaps in our understanding of the modern family business and through the use of four case studies illuminates the 'family' aspects of business which makes these businesses unique.
