RAMÉZ A. BAASSIRI, family man, entrepreneur, and writer, his
family’s journey to create an agile, adaptable business is just as
important as the day-to-day operations undertaken by the dynamic,
multinational team members that constitute the company. Developing
long-standing relationships with a wide variety of regional and
international suppliers spanning various industries and continents
was a journey that began with the bold steps of Raméz’s migrating
ancestors from Lebanon to the far-off shores of South America,
Africa, and the Gulf.
The family business owes its current standing to the bold steps,
leadership, and determination of Mr. Abdul Hamid Baassiri (Raméz’s
late father), a global citizen. The entrepreneurial spirit started
with A.H. Baassiri’s desire to seek new frontiers and his ability
to read the landscape of opportunity, be it in the agricultural,
industrial, or technological revolutions, all without compromising
strong family values.
“Raméz A. Baassiri’s fine book INTERRUPTED ENTREPRENEURSHIP is full
of EI (emotional intelligence) and wisdom on the management of
family firms. Structured around his insightful observations on how
to appreciate and address the interruptions in our life paths,
Baassiri uses his family’s story, and those of many famous families
in business, to guide family companies to lasting success.”
—PROFESSOR JOHN DAVIS, chair, families in business program, Harvard
Business School
“I found INTERRUPTED ENTREPRENEURSHIP to be a useful roadmap for
entrepreneurs as they face struggles in their family businesses. If
you have a family business, or are planning to start one, this book
provides a helpful and comforting perspective from others who have
walked these roads and successfully made it past their own
roadblocks.” —LAURA HUANG, assistant professor of management and
entrepreneurship at the Wharton School
