<br/><br/> In November 1998, Paul I. Karofsky visited with several family-owned and -managed businesses in India. The powerful cultural and family influences on family-owned enterprises sparked his desire to interview Sampath Durgadas, a visiting professor and consultant to family businesses at the Institute of Management in Bangalore. Over a 12-year period, Mr. Durgadas conducted extensive experiential research on the nature of transition in three family-owned companies. Although the focus of his  work is on the four South Indian states of India, he traveled widely throughout the country. His book, entitled Inheriting the Mantle: Managing Succession in Indian Family Business, is under publication by Sage Publications New Delhi.
