Wise Wealth
Creating wealth is difficult. So is managing wealth effectively. Losing wealth is the easiest part. It takes an enlightened approach to understand the future issues and to prepare and plan for the benefit of the next generations.
Wise Wealth provides the reader with broad and deep insights into relevant aspects of private wealth and, most importantly, its continuity. It uses pragmatic frameworks and proven concepts from advanced family business research and contains significant new work on the growing field of family offices.
The four authors combine their personal, academic and professional experiences to enable the reader to learn from the most common mistakes and from the most successful entrepreneurs, family businesses and family offices. This book will be of interest to entrepreneurs and family businesses as well as to a wider audience of individuals with private wealth and the large number of service providers that act on their behalf such as bankers, lawyers, consultants and educators.
