If you'll be strict about it, a COO has more accountability due mainly to his day-to-day responsibilities. If the company is organized as a corporation, as opposed to a single prop or partnership, he is answerable to the President and to the Board of Directors who appointed him.
I guess for family corporations, its not about losing ownership but more of ensuring that control is retained by a family member. Also, there is the idea of grooming the child as the successor of the owner in the business.

Limited ang growth ng family-owned businesses unless they bring in professional managers and give them autonomy in decision-making.
If Henry Sy or John Gokongwei didnt allow non-relatives to run their companies, they would never have gotten so big.

Thing about family-member controlled companies is that decisions from the top are always final even if those decisions dont make much sense.Last edited by uls; November 23rd, 2007 at 11:17 AM.

If you think about it, if the proprietor of a business employs his child as one of the officers of the company, it'll probably have little to do with merit or his ability to deliver results. Siguro, that's what every parent would want from their children. The reality of it though is that its more of a trust issue. Kahit merong mas magaling na tao sa anak ng may-ari ng negosyo, mas matimbang at mananaig pa rin ang tiwala mo sa kamag-anak mo.
Some notable exceptions are Henry Sy, Sr. and Tessie Coson, John Gokongwei and Lance Gokongwei. The children of both these tycoons are very business savvy and have proven their worth in their family's businesses.

The 2 examples I cited are the ones who are extremely successful in running the business originally established by their parents. There could be others who have been even more successful but probably not as high profile as Tessie Coson and Lance Gokongwei.

it depends on how you look at it. some see it kasi as more of power, me as responsibility. thats why dapat as early as bata palang yun successor exposed na siya sa family business, so maging familiarized siya and nobody knows it more than him. if ibang tao ang mas-worthy successor, IF kung mas worthy siya, chances are ma-pirate siya ng competitor. if hindi siya inofferan, sad to say hindi siya worthy. tingin nya lang worthy siya. usually kaya sa anak pinapasa kasi its more of trust issues. isolated case lang din kasi yun may masmagaling kaysa sa anak.
if pumalpak yun anak, accountable siya sa sarili niya. buhay nya and family legacy yun nakataya. theres nothing more valuable than that.

at the end of the day, its all a question of trust. can anyone be more trustworthy than your own child? e ang employee, kahit gaano kagaling pa yan, mas malaki ang chance na ma-pirate or masuhulan yan ng competing companies. pera't pera lang ang usapan dyan.
if you ask me, kahit gaano pa kapalpak ang anak ko, mas may tiwala pa din ako sa kanya kaysa sa employee na hindi ko kadugo. malay ko ba kung nasusuhulan na pala yang employee ng ibang kumpanya. also, malay mo kung matapos mo i-promote ng sobrang taas ang employee e biglang tanggalin niya ang equity mo sa kumpanya.
