Managing family business
takes more than good genes
More colleges
offering courses
to lead the way
By Mary Beth Markleln
Unlike many of his class-
mates, Texas Christian
University senior Guillermo
Velilla will not be joining
the ranks ofjob-hunters
when he finishes school He
has one waiting for him at
his familys business back
in his native Paraguay. But
that doesn't mean he has it
made.
"Rise not as easy as it
s says Velilla, 22,
whose family owns a meat -
processing plant, cattle
ranches and related compa-
nies,
There is competition
outthere, and we need to
keep the reputation of the
family through hard work,
honesty and commitment
with the community."
In a stroke of good tim-
ing, Velilla this semester
is enrolled in a class on
paging a family -owned
business, The course, which
nade its debut last spring
on the Fort Worth campus,
covers topics such as gover-
nanceand succession plan-
ning, and is open to stu-
dents regardless of whether
their families are business
owners. 'Many of our business
school graduates will also
either go to work for a family
business or obtain jobs that
will deal with family busi-
nesses
clients' says Mark
Muller, who teaches the
Pnate rredlt. WOW M Way
Tony Holzbach, 23, a senior at Texas Christian Uni-
versity, tends plants at the family business, the Plant
Shed, in Keller, Texas.
Similar undergraduate
nurses have been sprouting
up on campuses nationwide
lately, often riding the coat-
tails of popular new entre-
preneurship majors. New
York University this spring
for the first time is offer-
ing an undergrad course
on the topic. Savannah
State University in Georgia
plans to introduce such a
class next year. Boston's
Northeastern University
launched a course in 2011.
A few schools, including The
University of St. Thomas In
St. Paul and Saint Joseph's
University in Philadelphia,
have created family business
majors in the last few years,
Demographics and de -
and may explain some of
the recent uptick. Stetson
University in Deland, Fla.,
which graduated its first
class of family -business
majors in 2006, says 42
percent of its business stu-
dents and 37 percent of all
students come from families
involved in family busi-
s. A number of schools,
including Rice University
in Houston and the Univer-
sity of Denver, say enroll-
ment in recently launched
family business courses is
particularly strong among
international students such
as Velilla
John Ward, co -director
of the Center for Family
Enterprises at Northwest-
ern University in Evanston,
Ill„ also says colleges and
universities increasingly
recognize that family -owned
companies deserve a schol-
arly spotlight of their own.
Recent studies have found
that family -controlled busi-
nesses,which range from
morn -and -pop hardware
tares to corporate giants
uch as Wal-Mart, outpen
formed other companies
on
several measures during the
re And' according to data
from the Family Firm In-
stitute, a non-profit mem-
bership association, 77
percent of U.S. new brtsr-
s started as family
businesses. They employ 62
percent of the U.S work
force Depending on how you
define them, family owned u
businesses account for 40
percent to 90 percent of the
w"Yo s simply can't ig-
nore that,says Pramodita
Sharma, a professor at the
University of Vermont, which
offered its first family busi-
ness in 2006, and
global director of a research
initiative focused on family
business at Babson College
in Babson Park, Mass.
Sharma, who grew up in
India, where "everyone I
knew was running a (fam-
ily) business," suggests that
U.S, scholars, who long
dismissed the topic as an
unimportant area of study,
have some catching up to
do, Ina recent family busi-
ness at the Uni-
versity of Vermont, finalists
for the top award came from
Spain, Canada and Sweden.

fiasco shakes

cruise industry
Company faces
rough waters
By Laura Bly and
Jayne Clark
The opening skit of "Satur-
day Night Live" skewered the
Carnival Triumplis ill-fated
cruise, giving new meaning
to "toilet humor" as ship-
board entertainers tried to
pacify a tough crowd of un-
happy, unshowered passen-
gers.
And as the crippled ship
p
remains docked d under
investigation in Mobile, Ala.,
travel agents and investors
are bracing for fallout that
could rival the bad public-
ity after last January a Con-
cordia disaster, in which a
Carnival -owned ship ran
aground and capsized In It-
aly, killing 32.
It's too early to tell wheth-
er cruisers will be
turned off by the aftermath
of an engine room fire o
the Triumph, which had left
the ship adrift in the Gulf of
Mexico since Feb. 11, said

Loucks said his company

ticularly in the form
of cash and addition-
al staff,' he said in a
statement.
The team found the
city is expected to
have a cash deficit of
re than $100 mil-
lion by June 30 and
continues to issue
debt to fund day-to-
day operations. The
city's deficit of $326,6
million in the current
fiscal year would have
been $936.8 million
without such debt fi-
nancing: Its restruc-
turing
measures have fallen short, In
part because city y of-
ficials have lied
on one-time savings
and cuts to a smaller
number of nonunion
employees in an at-
tempt to fix its fiscal
woes, the team con-
cluded.

days to review the

In his state of the
