In Central American countries a large percentage of the GDP is generated by family businesses.

These conflicts often lead companies with great economic potential to fail.

This is the subject of the article in Latribuna.hn, which outlines the key aspects of the lecture on the subject by the director of the Institute for Family Business ADEN Business School, Santiago Dodero.

"The elements that lead firms to failure are lack of competitiveness to grow, not knowing how to address the succession of management positions, unresolved family conflicts which are transferred to the company, and lack of leadership qualities of the successors. "
