EMC Closely Held & Family Business Forum
Purpose
To drive the growth and development of member businesses by providing entrepreneurial education, training programs, resources and peer support to closely-held & family businesses in the San Diego region.
Mission Statement
The mission of the EMC Business Forum at SDSU is to:
- Build critical management skills associated with family/closely-held businesses through educational curriculum, materials, and events
- Facilitate peer support and productive networking opportunities that enable sharing of best practices and resolution of critical issues.
- Conduct relevant research on business growth to identify trends and approaches which drive tangible business results
The EMC Business Forum at SDSU was conceived to meet unique needs of local family and closely-held firms. This demographic seeks comprehensive resources to address issues such as transgenerational entrepreneurship; family relationships; traditions and values; power, control and compensation; roles and responsibilities; and legal, financial and other planning issues around leadership succession and ownership transfer. A University-based program that integrates academic learning with practical strategic tools will drive member company value creation and ensure prosperity. Considerable sponsor resources and an efficient member networking system will further help companies to better recognize opportunities and overcome challenges, promoting longer-term growth and success through the generations.
