The overarching topic from the readings for this week is that family climate plays a critical role in the success and longevity of family businesses. This topic is spread over nearly every reading for the week, including that from the textbook. In the article by Prof. Miller (from Frontiers in Psychology), family climate is broken down into three main categories: intergenerational style, family cohesion, and family process. From the readings, along with the research by Prof. Miller, it can be concluded that these three categories are indeed the principals upon which the road to success lies for family businesses. Family intergenerational style (as we are told) is the level of authority that is exercised by the older generation, as well as how much time and attention they devote to the development of the younger generation. This concept, in my opinion, is no different than that of any other type of firm or governing body. Nobody wants to work under or alongside a person who exhibits autocratic behavior (even if they are family), as this can often be seen as demeaning. As can be seen in the Bingham case this can have a direct negative impact on the operations of a family business. In the case Bingham, Sr., was not completely open with the rest of the family (on topics such as commitment to continuity) and overused misused his power greatly (making a decision to sell the company before a consensus had been reached. Although this example shows a case of negative intergenerational…

SOUTHERN TIER (WENY) Last year the Southern Tier received nearly $80.8 million dollars in funding through the New York State Regional Economic Development Council initiative. As we get closer to the end of the year, WENY wanted to know if that money has been used and how. As a way to boost economic growth throughout the state, Governor Andrew Cuomo created a funding program that would cover 20 percent of the cost of the project if you qualify. Last year the Southern Tier received nearly 81…

Let us start with the offensive line. According to walterfootball.com, The top ranked offensive lineman in free agency is Andrew Norwell from the Carolina Panthers. Norwell is only 26 years old and has proved that he is a dominant offensive lineman in the NFL.

Other options available this year for potential…

With some of his favorite songs mostly being top 40s hits, Jesse has a consistent, if not predictable, taste in music. Frank Ocean…

in the 1960’s and became an icon for an entire music genre as well as for that decade. As they gained immense fame as one of the greatest bands of all time, it was easy to forget they are people too. They may have been musicians, but this did not stop them from expressing themselves, and showing that they are humans like everyone else through the photography of two of their album covers. The two album covers are also probably some of the most recognizable covers of all time and are titled, “Sgt.…
