Family Businesses

NPR's Chris Arnold reports passing a family owned business from one generation to another can be tricky. The children aren't always interested in running a business. And even when they are, they don't always have the skill and experience to step in and take over. A successful transition is more the exception than the rule. Many family businesses end up being sold or falling apart. NPR's Chris Arnold reports on a family in the bayou-country of Louisiana that's trying to make sure that doesn't happen to its business.
