Abstract
This is part of a case series. The case focuses on John Varley, who is considering becoming the CEO of Clinton Devon Estates, a large estate in Devon, England. He has built a successful career in British Telecom, has no experience in family business, and is wondering if the change would make sense. In what ways is running a family owned organisation likely to be different than working in a fast growing publically listed company. To what extent would new skills be required?
