The course examines the structures, relationships and management challenges of family-owned enterprises in Myanmar: governance, succession, marketing and segmentation, financial statements, budgeting and cash flow, and strategy at corporate, business and functional levels. Daw La Pyae Wun teaches it from the perspective of someone who makes these decisions in her own businesses.
Teaching philosophy
Concepts earn their place when learners can connect them to a decision they will actually face. Each session links theory to a situation drawn from service businesses, education operations, hospitality or family recreation.
Learners are asked to make their assumptions explicit, use evidence, and leave with an action plan they could take back to their own family business.
