This study aims to see the importance of the father's role and the responsibility of ownership in three family companies in Indonesia. The family company's success cannot be separated from the father's role, responsible as the family company's owner. The study used a qualitative approach method. This study is based on interviews with three different family companies. Our findings present that those fathers who have prepared early and involve the second generation in the family business are more adaptable to business. An interesting finding is that it depends, however, on the interests of the next generation. For example, if the next generation prefers operations, this is not easy to reconcile with their father's desire to focus on marketing.

The past decade of empirical research has established a body of knowledge about family business. A summary of this body of knowledge can be a guide for the content of family business instruction. One such summary now exists. A recent study compiled and assembled the dependent variables used in family business research (Yu, Lumpkin, Brigham, & Sorenson, 2009). This paper summarizes the findings of that study, discusses the extent to which course content in family business matches the current state of the field, and comments about possibilities going forward for courses in family business. Two textbooks are used to illustrate current course content: Family Business by Poza (2007) and Strategic Planning for the Family Business by Carlock and Ward (2001).
