This article presents the findings of a research study conducted in the Spanish food and beverage industry. The objective of the research was to expand upon and clarify the knowledge available on the role family businesses play in the economy and to understand the possible behavioral differences when we compare them to non-family businesses. The results show that the family business has more difficulty in reaching the same size as a non-family business within a similar time span. Reduced risk levels, high equity control, and a tendency to be closed to outsiders are possible causes of the difficulties family businesses experience in maintaining faster growth rates.

The market for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) in the Nigerian food and beverage industry has been inundated with a massive amount of promotional messages. These messages have resulted from intense competition and rivalry among the organizations that market similar products. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a brand ambassador on the patronage of FMCGs. Furthermore, we explore the mediating role of advertisement believability in the relationship between the variables. We use a questionnaire to elicit information from 400 respondents who are members of households in the metropolitan area of Kano that consumed Peak milk. Partial least square algorithms and bootstrapping techniques served as the tools of analysis with the aid of SMART-PLS 3. Our findings indicate that a brand ambassador has an insignificant direct effect on customer patronage and that advertisement believability has no mediating effect on the influence of a brand ambassador on customer patronage. The study recommends that managers of FMCGs should use a hybrid model of a brand ambassador and believable advertising to elicit the desired patronage from their target customers. Further, they should de-emphasis the supposed role of advertisement believability as a mediating factor on the influence of a brand ambassador on customer patronage.

Malnutrition, both undernutrition and obesity, with its links to non-communicable diseases, is probably today’s most important public health challenge. Two reports published this year in Lancet, the first being the EAT-Lancet Commission Report and the second being the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Diet Collaborators Report, lay the blame for the increasing burden of NCDs on sub-optimal and unhealthy diets. This commentary focuses on the latter report. That report holds excess intake of sodium as the biggest risk factor, underplaying the role of sugar, trans fats and processed foods. The report is also silent on the part played by the food industry, especially their marketing practices. In this essay, we highlight the lack of clarity in the GBD report and question its conclusions.
