FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS • Limit the senior management structures to family members only • Prevents fresh and open thinking and candid evaluation of company operations • No regard for relevant experience, training, understanding of underlying issues • Company directors and management will often be frustrated by the lack of vibrant growth, stifled working atmosphere, and limited resources

  6. FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS CONTD... • Information and communication technologies are often shunned • Cost saving measures which include low salaries, tight and cumbersome security mechanisms, intolerance towards dissenting views, and short term business goals • Staff are often demoralised and disillusioned as they acknowledge that glass ceilings block them from promotions

  7. OD CHALLENGES AND THE WAY FORWARD • Sole franchise holder of a product or service will guarantee business success and good profits • Effective tool for managing economic activity in the country is to introduce legislation and regulation • Statutory Bodies - Policing their sector and disciplining deviant and non conforming companies

  8. OD CHALLENGES AND THE WAY FORWARD CONTD... • Value of outsourced expertise represented by employees in the roles of accountants, managers, directors, and advisors • Micro management is considered keeping a good eye on the business while concepts of shrinkage and controlled pilferage are not easily accepted

  9. OD CHALLENGES AND THE WAY FORWARD CONTD...1 • Socialist commandist government oversight is still considered relevant even in a free market economy at the expense of more relevant mechanisms • Active competition • Unfair advantage that should be removed, rather than should be matched

  10. OD CHALLENGES AND THE WAY FORWARD CONTD...2 • Value of skilled labour is yet to be mainstreamed in company operations and is yet to be closely linked to company efficiency and productivity • Pro active consideration of Zambia’s competitiveness before signing treaties and agreements
