Abstract Overseas Chinese businesses have been characterized as possessing unique cultural attributes or being embedded in specific institutional environments that constrict their growth and lead to them taking on limited economic roles. Familism, particularism, nepotism and the lack of state support (among other cultural and institutional features) it is argued, stand in the way of the emergence of large, successful and enduring firms, and problems of inter-generation transition frequently lead to their demise. This paper argues that such a fatalistic prognosis is misplaced, and uses case studies of successful Chinese family businesses in Singapore to demonstrate how business leaders, as agents, can incorporate, defy, or re-combine elements from the socio-cultural environment in ways that enable continuity and growth. Additionally, this paper highlights the role of a proactive state at play in promoting a specific Chinese mode of doing business based on notions of so-called Confucian capitalism, which despite its culturalist associations, is based on capitalist practices. Keywords: Chinese family business, inter-generation transition, Chinese culture, entrepreneurial agency.

The two most common treatments for depression are antidepressant medication and psychotherapy, provided together or individually. This chapter provides an overview of the classes of antidepressant medications and addresses how they regulate neurotransmitters in the brain. The chapter addresses the use of antidepressants in children and adolescents and the risk of suicide related to antidepressants. Several models of psychotherapy treatments, including treatment interventions extensively tested and found effective in treating children and adolescents with depressive disorders (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy) are described. Links are provided to access further information on these interventions. This chapter returns to the two case studies from Chapter 5 and discloses the actual outcomes that occurred.

Succession Process

In a highly competitive market, the demands for new market positioning, redefinition of objectives and innovative concepts of business management make increasingly prominent leading companies define their competitive strategies to ensure long-term survival. An occurrence in the life of a business that can affect the strategy in companies, particularly characterized as family-run businesses, is the succession process, and the consequences that may result from this process require adaptive management in times of change. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify how the succession process occurs in small and medium-sized enterprises, characterized as family businesses. To this end, we studied three companies in the same sector of the economy, specifically, medical and dental product manufacturers within the industrial sector, using an exploratory method through case studies. Studies revealed coincident points in the three companies, the most striking being the occurrence of succession occurring by removal of the founder, whether for medical reasons or by death. We also address the issues concerning lack of a more elaborate planning for the succession process. The most significant changes were observed in the organizational structure of enterprises in the immediate aftermath of the founder’s succession, when businesses undertook a new dynamic.

The Relationship

In this chapter, the authors propose to widen the perspective of human resource management within family businesses by considering the organization as not only one venture but a set of ventures. The authors select case studies to illustrate the process for maintaining trust between CEO of family businesses and partners. The cases showed that regardless of the family firms' ownership and size, the personal relationship was more important to keep the relationship than agreements sanctioned by formalized operation and contracts. The story of the three cases allows the authors to identify a human resource management process of trust maintenance between three inter-family firm relationships.

Literary Sources

Sustainable tourism can be the motivation to manage resources to satisfy environmental, social and economic needs through cultural integrity, biological diversity, ecological processes, social and economic equity, and general enrichment. Based on a systematic literature review conducted on research papers published between 2015 and 2020, and on the case studies contained within them (19 papers), this analysis focuses on the innovation drivers and sustainability drivers identified within family businesses in tourism. This desk-based research has made it possible to highlight how variable sustainability is present, albeit in a limited fashion, within family businesses in tourism; at the same time, it also shows how innovative strategies contribute to sustainable development. From the analysis, the correlations between family businesses, family dynamics, sustainability practices, innovation drivers and case studies were analyzed. The results show the poor implementation of innovative strategies, and at the same time, the presence of other variables that guarantee the adoption of sustainable practices. Important research gaps are identified, and future research priorities are suggested. Furthermore, the article is based on a collection of non-exhaustive literary sources. The implications for both family businesses and sustainable development are discussed.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
