FAMILY BUSINESS RESILIENCE STRATEGY IN INDONESIA
Abstract
A family is an economic entity consisting of individuals who aim to maximize satisfaction (as a comment) as well as profit (as a producer). The success of entrepreneurs building business goals and making timely decisions to achieve those goals in increasing competition and uncertain environments is certainly needed. Family companies are an interesting business phenomenon to study because of the various issues and challenges that must be faced by the company. The above problems cause family companies to be managed differently than managing non-family businesses, they build a company that at one time is also a family institution. This paper uses literature studies on family companies to find out important and crucial issues in the family business journey to provide an understanding of how to manage it becomes a strength for family companies. Reviews from literature studies show that family engagement and succession are key issues in the family business as well as being an advantage for family companies rather than family companies. Family engagement becomes a professional issue in family companies. The involvement of family members in family companies makes the high level of trust and mutual disassociation among family members has a guarantee of corporate stability and has the high financial strength, the company culture becomes strong, has independence in the actions and acculturation process of the next generation to the business world that occurred since childhood. Succession has been made as to the biggest classic and strategic issue in the family company. Experience and insight are the most important things to note in the next generation of family companies.
