BUS 474 - Practicum in Family Business

Unit(s): 4

Elective for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.Elective for Business AdministrationThe Practicum in Family Business engages you with families, businesses and the amazing combined organization we call a “family business”. Family businesses are traditionally defined as firms that are actively owned and/or managed by one or more members of the same family. This semester, students will learn more about family businesses by actively working with the City/County of San Francisco’s Mayor’s Office of Small Business (MOSB) and the Legacy Business Program. Many of these legacy firms are family owned and, therefore, are part of the local family business population. Your fieldwork this semester will extend upon previous team projects that have assisted MOSB in its efforts to support these firms and “put a face” on San Francisco’s legacy/family businesses.
