Groupe Basan: Growing in a sea of doubt

Karim, owner and CEO of Groupe Basan, a widely diversified and growing family business in Madagascar, was satisfied with the 2018 result, and with some of the changes made. I thought this would be the first in a long series of growth, structuring and consolidation for the Group. With business continuity assured, Karim wanted to develop many opportunities that Madagascar offered. What would be the future of your family business that had cost you so much to move forward? Could they find the necessary talent? How would the new generation assume their responsibilities in the company? Would the family business survive when Karim was no longer in office?
