There are 24.2 million family-owned and operated organizations in the United States. The gross domestic product contribution of family-owned and operated organizations accounted for 64%, which indicated family-owned organizations were essential to the U.S. economy. Therefore, this book is an important information on how family member employees work together. The rise of entrepreneurship, self-employed businesses, and family-owned and operated business account for 50% of the U.S. GNP, however 90% failure rate of family-owned and operated firms in the U.S. devastated the U.S economy (Bell, 2008; Gravelle, 2009). This book explores family and business issues, and its potential consequences of nepotistic ideology. The aim of the study was to examine how nepotism affects family member employees and non related employees working together in the same organization.
