“This method works well for them and maybe it would work for you, too. ” Creating an Advisory Board One of the most important steps a family business can take when preparing a succession plan is to instill a healthy level of governance, including policies, procedures and a board of directors. Many smaller family businesses think they’re too small for a board. Dirty little secret: They are wrong. This misperception comes mostly from their belief that the word “board” means “board of directors,” which means individuals elected by a corporation’s shareholders to oversee the management of the corporation. The members of a board of directors are paid in cash and/or in stock, meet several times each year and assume legal responsibility for corporate activities. The keywords here are “legal responsibility.” To get a qualified individual to take on legal responsibility for a small- to medium– sized business can be rather difficult. Thus, smaller family businesses would be correct in saying they’re too small for a board of directors. This is why they would for a board of advisors—it is exactly the same, without legal responsibilities, and as such, is much easier to form. There are many benefits to having a board of advisors. You can staff it with individuals who have knowledge and background in some of the key areas your company focuses on or would like to move into. This is most important with any board: Put independent-minded people on it, not your golfing buddy who ran a company or your cousin who is a sales whiz. You need a group of folks who are each wiling and able to give you honest feedback without fear of reprisal. Once in place, this group begins to act like a fine wine—it gets better with age, providing a long term sense of continuity. For example, the CEO of a multi-generation family business with a prominent brand product has an advisory board of three trusted professionals. They meet there or four times a year for a long lunch, during which the CEO gives an update, highlights important issues, gets some feedback, and goes on his way. This method works well for them and maybe it would work for you, too. If your heir apparent were to fall seriously ill or die, it would be a personal and business tragedy. A good advisory board can play an invaluable role in assisting your company through this difficult time. While your family is grieving, the advisory board could engage in the business temporarily to hold down the fort, and it could consider the best option for the business going forward. Certainly, the board is not a silver bullet, but it can act as a wonderful safety net if things go wrong in the family business.

Development of Business Intelligence Tool Based on Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm For Indian Stock Market Prediction This paper was written by Dinesh K. Sharma from Fayetteville State University and H.S. Hota from Guru Ghasidas University, India.
In this paper, we develop a Business Intelligence (BI) tool based on Neuro-Genetic technique using JAVA programming language. This tool provides an interactive graphical interface to assist the user in obtaining results with training and testing data. We have tested the model with two different architectures for data partitions of BSE30 and BSE100 indices. (pg. 11)
