For centuries, almost all economic activity was family-based. The family business rested on the division of labor among family members. Therefore the family was both socially and economically the foundation of the family business. Families were not only production units, but also education and consumption units that conveyed norm structures, values and professional identity to next generation. Although female family members have always been active participants in family businesses over the centuries, their role has often been neglected in previous studies. Women in Business Families: From Past to Present presents both conceptual and theoretically informed empirical papers addressing three related themes relevant for family business and gender in past and in present: heroic women entrepreneurs; invisibility / visibility of women in businesses; and business succession. The book Women in Business Families: From Past to Present balances between both historical and contemporary analyses. The chapters integrate the notions of time and gender in focusing on family businesses or business families in past and in present. This volume will be of vital reading to researchers and academics in the fields of Gender Studies, Family Business, Organizational studies, Entrepreneurship and the various related disciplines.

'Barrett and Moores delve into the real essence of women in leadership roles, specifically but not exclusively in family business. In doing so they dispel many myths, provide compelling concepts to nurture, grow and sustain women business leaders and examples of how women in all types of business can deliver outstanding results through dynamic leadership, high emotional intelligence and a desire to achieve and succeed.' - Jaqui Lane, CEO and Founder, Focus Publishing

The purpose of this book is to promote discussion about educational objectives generally and objectives in the teaching of educational psychology in particular. To this end, Part 1 contains a review of the literature concerned with these two subjects, and also reports on investigations into the views of British students, teachers, college staffs and educational psychologists on the question of the objectives of educational psychology in teacher preparation. A comprehensive bibliography is provided. A further important section of Part 1 proposes a method of systematizing teaching objectives, and suggests a heuristic device for the generation of objectives at different levels of conceptual generality and complexity of learning. An example of this model in the field of educational psychology is presented, which illustrates the general approach to the generation of teaching objectives and proposes a specific approach to the production of teaching objectives in educational psychology. In Part 2 a selection of readings in the fields of objectives and educational psychology provides the reader with some of the key source material referred to in Part 1. As well as being a valuable and stimulating addition to the current debate on the specifying of educational objectives, the arguments in this book about the role of educational psychology in teacher preparation raise some fundamental questions for those concerned with teacher education.

Women who want to succeed in their family's businesses face situations and challenges that don't often arise in publicly-held companies. When the boss is your father -- or any relative -- a relationship already exists into which a business partnership must fit. It isn't easy being the apple of Daddy's eye and his righthand associate.The Daughter Also Rises is the first book of its kind, written directly to these women. In an accessible, comprehensive manner, the book addresses the problems and advantages of working with the people you grew up with. It is divided into two sections: the first profiles the family and the relationships behind the business, while the second assesses the skills needed to lead the business.Throughout The Daughter Also Rises, readers will hear from women whose successes they will want to model, and from those whose failures they will work to avoid. They will hear not only from daughters, but also from founding fathers -- because in all but a few cases men still found the business. Readers will hear from mothers -- who in all but exceptional cases are still silent partners. They will meet siblings, friends, and spouses of women who grew up in business families. These voices will teach readers about the painful realities as well as the exciting possibilities for women working in the family enterprise. Interspersed with these anecdotes from life on the inside are carefully designed exercises, checklists, and self-evaluation tests. Working through them, readers will be able to assess their own readiness to advance in the business. The Daughter Also Rises will teach women how to develop themselves and their careers to be the best leaders to take the businessinto the next generation.
