Cast by Merriam (Qualitative research and case study applications in education: Revised and expanded from case study research in education. Jossey-Bass, 1998 ) as a variant of case study methodology, Lightfoot’s (The good high school: Portraits of character and culture. Basic Books, 1983 ) seminal use of written portraits to combine science and art has been an intriguing presence in qualitative research since portraiture was first described in Lightfoot’s The Good High School . Lightfoot suggested the term “portraits” to bring a “measure of freedom from the traditions and constraints of disciplined research methods…” hoping that the work would be “defined by aesthetic, as well as empirical and analytic, dimensions” (p. 13).

TITLE: Good Corporate Governance Structures: A Must for Family Businesses

KEYWORDS: Corporate Governance , Family Governance , Family Business

JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Business and Management , Vol.3 No.1 , January 16, 2015

ABSTRACT: Corporate governance refers to the structures and processes for the direction and control of businesses and the relationships among the management, board of directors, controlling shareholders, minority shareholders and other stakeholders. Since good corporate governance contributes to sustainable economic development by enhancing the performance of companies, it is imperative that companies adopts good corporate governance structures to enable them grow. Family businesses are an often overlooked form of business ownership in today’s world, yet they constitute a majority of the businesses. This means that families own a significant share of businesses and can influence important decisions in today’s business world. However, according to Neubauer and Lank, until recently, the study of corporate governance in family business has been a largely neglected area of research [1]. As family businesses are an important component of every economy and play a critical role in promoting growth of a country’s economy, as they grow, they face same challenges and pressures as any major corporation. To succeed, they must remain ahead of the competition, adopt good corporate governance practices and skillfully navigate through market changes. This paper is an empirical study from the current authors’ previous work on the topic “Corporate Governances in Ghanaian Family Businesses: A Conceptual Framework” [2]. It examines the state of corporate governance environment and the nature of the governance system employed by family businesses using Ghanaian family businesses as a case study. The paper underlines why it is important for family businesses to adopt good corporate governance structures and attempts to understand the point of view from the subjects’ perspective, due to the complex social situations that exist in the family businesses.
