Abstract/Summary

This study is an attempt to record the influence of family dynamics on the organizational life cycle of a family-managed higher educational institution, based on the following stages: entrepreneurial, collectivity, formalization, and elaboration, in order to draw implications on how family dynamics could promote or lead to results in the success of an educational institution of higher learning in the areas of governance, finance, planning and academic management. Specifically, this study aimed to answer the following objectives: 1) To describe the family dynamics during each of the following phases in relation to the areas of governance, finance, planning and academic management. Specifically, this study aimed to answer the following objectives: 1) To describe the family dynamics during each of the following phases in relation to the areas of governance, finance, planning and academic management. 2) To describe and analyze the different stages undergone by the institution in terms of its organizational life cycle. 3) To draw a framework on the family dynamics and the life cycle of a family owned business. Data for this study were gathered from the life history of the institution and the family that manages it, one on one interview with family members and present-and former-employees of the institution and extant documents. As a result, it has been found that family dynamics does have a direct impact on the way the school is governed because familial atmosphere is prevalent throughout the growth stages in terms of management styles. Moreover, it has been found that the organizational life cycle does not necessarily have to follow the sequential phases of family dynamics.
