Vikram Bhalla: Family businesses are here to stay, and thrive
What do Wal-Mart, Mars, and Newscorp have in common? They’re family businesses. Vikram Bhalla analyzes the unique strengths and weaknesses of family businesses today, contrasting it with the humble mom-and-pop store the term usually brings to mind. Vikram’s research has revealed that family businesses in emerging economies are the fastest-growing, most ambitious breed of companies in the world. He extrapolates some valuable lessons that these successful ventures can share for both family and traditional companies.
TED@BCG was a TED-curated event featuring a diverse group of speakers from across the BCG community. Jointly produced by TED and BCG, the event put a spotlight on ideas, projects and insights that will contribute to the pursuit of growing ever onward and upward.

+Suman Lata Not really - he mentions there are areas where 'corporate discipline' is needed - those are areas where professional managers and consultants can add value. Apart from that, even though he argues for the entrepreneur's well-honed intuition and experience driving strategic decisions, professional advice can still help in revealing and analyzing strategic options
