Read the Acclaimed Work from Dr. Mark Green!

Inside the Multi-Generational Family Business is heralded as one of the top family business books of all time. Dr. Mark Green offers deep insights into how modern familial, societal, and generational relationships fundamentally impact the success or failure of family enterprises.

Recognized by family business leaders, experts, and scholars, this book introduces the concept of “generational stack-up”—the convergence of several generations as owners, managers, employees, and shareholders. Dr. Green explains that generational stack-up, fueled by longer lifespans, extended working years, and the growth of family businesses, leads to clashes of values, perspectives, and expectations. Unlike traditional views that see succession conflicts as one-dimensional, Dr. Green highlights the multi-dimensional challenges faced today.

Developed through extensive work with hundreds of family businesses, Dr. Green's research and practical techniques offer tools and steps to understand and address complex multi-generational issues. Each chapter addresses the nine symptoms of generational differences and their treatment, providing practical advice for navigating these challenges.

Order now to benefit from Dr. Green's monumental work in capturing today's complex family business dynamics.

Mark Green helped set us on a successful path for a generational and leadership transition. Let him help you arrive at a stronger place for your business and your family.
— EMILY POWELL, PRESIDENT, POWELL’S BOOKSTORE, INC.
Families have no successions – only transitions. Mark Green explains why so many of those generational transitions fail because an older generation of a family blocks the natural development of later family generation members, often, he explains, because of fundamentally different world views. He then artfully and with great experience explains how to diagnose a generational blockage and how, with sensitivity and tact, to dissolve it proactively toward a successful family evolution.
— JAMES (JAY) E. HUGHES, JR., AUTHOR OF FAMILY WEALTH AND FAMILY: THE COMPACT AMONG GENERATIONS
I thank you over and over again for all of your work with our family. Without you, it is scary to think where we would be. I am so thankful.
— Family Business Client
Mark Green does a superb job of bringing the generational stack-up to life. Family business research and practice has traditionally looked at the transfer from one generation to another but Inside the Multi-Generational Family Business captures today’s realities of the multi-generational enterprises where up to five generations are occupying the workplace. A must-read book for all progressive individuals who care to reap the opportunities of generational stack-up while effectively negotiating the related confusion and frustrations.
— PRAMODITA SHARMA, CIBC DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR OF FAMILY BUSINESS, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, MONTREAL EDITOR, FAMILY BUSINESS REVIEW
If our 73-year-old, third-generation family business survives, it will in good measure be due to the sound advice from Inside the Multi-Generational Family Business. It shows us the big picture and in turn helps to improve communication within the family. I highly recommend this book.
