Book Review: Competing With Giants: How One Family-Owned Company Took on the Multinationals and Won by Phương Uyên Trần and Jackie Horne

Competing With Giants: How One Family-Owned Company Took on the Multinationals and Won by Phương Uyên Trần and Jackie Horne

It is unusual to find a book like Competing With Giants: How One Family-Owned Company Took on the Multinationals and Won by Phương Uyên Trần and Jackie Horne. It works well as a casual reading experience about business. It also works well as a source of historical information.

In this book, readers learn a little about the history of Vietnam and the surrounding areas. Readers learn about the perceptions the Vietnamese people have of the United States of America and the rest of the world.

By now, you may be thinking that this book only works as a business book and a history book. It also gives readers an insight into how families can, and perhaps should, relate to one another.

This book works as a book to inspire small business owners as they seek to compete with larger companies. This book works also as a biography of the founder and founding family of one of the largest companies in Vietnam, as well as a biography of the author.

If you are in business and want to compete on a global level, you should read this book. It should help you understand a little better about how to think like the culture you are trying to market to.

We give Competing With Giants all five stars. We think it is written well and provides a wealth of information from the perspective of someone other than a Western business person. It would make a great textbook.

Book Review: The Art of Selling the Family Business by John Pellegrin

The Art of Selling the Family Business

by John Pellegrin

If you are in a family business, you must at some time in your life develop an end game plan.  Will you simply wind it down? Will it die with you? Will you pass it on to the next generation?

The Art of Selling the Family Business by John Pellegrin discusses all of those possibilities and more.  

Pellegrin tells readers about his experience with taking over the family business and his fears along the way.  He also conducted doctoral research into many families that were faced with selling their family business.

We give The Art of Selling the Family Business all five stars.  It is very well-written and entertaining.  It is very readable. To say it was well-researched would be an extreme understatement because, not only did Pellegrin live this, he spent many years conducting doctoral level research to learn even more.

If you are in a family business, whether or not you are planning on selling the business, you simply must read The Art of Selling the Family Business.  This is information you need for succession planning.
