Baylor Seminar to Assess the 'Competitive Advantage'

by Alan Hunt

Baylor University's Institute for Family Business will address the "competitive advantage" in another program in the 1998 Waco Family Business Seminar Series, Thursday at the Harrington House Faculty Dining Center on South Eighth Street.
The seminar will run from 7:30-9 a.m. and will be led by Dr. John Schoen, visiting lecturer in management and entrepreneurship at Baylor. The program is titled "Heart, Head and Hands: Keys to Sustaining Competitive Advantage in Family Enterprises."
Schoen has been an owner-manager of several types of distribution businesses for the past 25 years. He also teaches in the industrial distribution program at Texas A&M University and at the Caruth Institute for Owner-Managed Business at SMU. He is a co-director of the Family & Owner-Managed Business Program at Texas A&M.
The 1998 Waco Family Business Seminar Series was planned by the Institute for Family Business specifically for family-owned firms in the Waco area. The Institute for Family Business is a nationally-recognized organization that provides educational programs for family-owned businesses throughout the state.
Doris Sandberg, program director of the Institute for Family Business, said the aim of the Waco seminar series is to develop skills and strategies for a healthy family business. For more information about the June 25 seminar program (which includes a country breakfast) call Sandberg at 710-4154.
