Book Description
Wise Family Business aims to help families in business to identify new and better ways of achieving longevity, sustainability and performance. The book presents ground-breaking new insights and practical examples from a range of growing family businesses in which the owning families are visible and, in most cases, have branded the business with their family name. This comprehensive and important study explores how family identity has the power to tie together families in business and leverage their values when developing and sharing the owner’s vision with their stakeholder communities. Developing a family business identity is key when building and managing an authentic, recognizable and trusted brand. It argues that family businesses that have successfully translated strong identities into strong brands are not only perceived as attractive employers but also add meaningful value to the business over generations.

Book Description
Genesis calls its readers into a vision of human community unconstrained by the categories that dominate modern thinking about identity. Genesis situates humanity within a network of nurture that encompasses the entire cosmos--only then introducing Israel not as a people, but as a promise. Genesis prioritizes a human identity that originates in the divine word and depends on ongoing relationship with God. Those called into this new mode of belonging must forsake the social definition that had structured their former life, trading it for an alternative that will only gradually take shape. In contrast to the rigidity that typifies modern notions, Genesis depicts identity as fundamentally fluid. Encounter with God leads to a new social self, not a "spiritual" self that operates only within parameters established in the body at birth. In Belonging in Genesis, Amanda Mbuvi highlights the ways narrative and the act of storytelling function to define and create a community. Building on the emphasis on family in Genesis, she focuses on the way family storytelling is a means of holding together the interpretation of the text and the constitution of the reading community. Explicitly engaging the way in which readers regard the biblical text as a point of reference for their own (collective) identities leads to an understanding of Genesis as inviting its readers into a radically transformative vision of their place in the world.

Book Description
Families serve as a primary socializing agent in the lives of individuals (Soliz & Rittenour, 2012), and the first social identity individuals have in their lives. Given the complexity and importance of identity---and family identity specifically, the goal of this study is to identify the various dimensions of family identity that scholars and practitioners should account for in their work. Through a two-study exploratory sequential mixed-method design I investigate what constructs comprise a conceptual model of family identity, and I develop a corresponding inventory of Family Identity. Through this process, I will also assess the relationships among these communicative processes, values, and structural attributes along with associations with personal and relational outcomes in the family. In Study One I investigate what characteristics participants identify as unique to their family and compare those themes to existing literature. These themes are then used as the foundation for the conceptual model of family identity. In Study Two, I use the data from Study One and existing scales to create a set of items to measure each of the constructs included in the conceptual model. In addition, I also test a set of propositions about the relationship between communication processes and well-being outcomes, as well as the moderating role of compositional structures, relational ideology, family identification, and life stressors. The findings from Study One resulted in a set of 10 family characteristics and a set of six structural factors. These results in combination with extant literature provide a framework for studying family identity. The first set of results from Study Two involves the psychometric properties of the items and the final set of items which includes 11 communication processes, five relational ideology dimensions, five compositional structures, family identification, and life stressors. Overall, the results demonstrate a relationship between the communication processes and the individual and relational well-being outcomes. The results also underscore the importance of investigating the role of compositional factors as many of the associations varied as a function of race/ethnicity. Implications and pragmatic uses of the inventory are discussed as they pertain to researchers and practitioners.
