Family Succession Part 2 – LOB 302

March 28, 2022

If the Big Guy in the corner office steps down…when he does..who gets to take over –  generation 2 or an outsider?



Millions of viewers were entreated by the siblings jockeying for the CEO job on the HBO series “Succession.”  In Part 2 of The Language of Business look at succession in small family businesses we look at two generations of an Indonesian family business facing that succession decision..without the drama. Host Greg Stoller talks with Tya Kusumah, CEO and current BU graduate student living in LA…and her parents running the business in Indonesia. Then, Professor Patrick Abouchalache of Boston University Questrom School of Business talks about teaching family business values.
