Glopac Chemical and the Makmur family are pseudonyms and the data provided for the case are based on composites of a real family business in Indonesia. Part 1 describes the evolution of Glopac Chemical in its first two decades as it grew from an entrepreneurial startup to a large corporation. The evolution of Glopac as a family business illustrates the economic goal of the founder, Andy Makmur, to ensure a better future for himself and the family. However, family conflict, management issues, and agency problems left Andy Makmur with the dilemma of whether to a sell the company or b invest his time and energy in making Glopac Chemical a sustainable business. To resolve the dilemma, students must identify the goals and data they would use when considering whether to sell a family business. Part 2 explores in more detail the series of evaluations family business owners like the Makmurs need to undertake when faced with such a dilemma. It provides additional discussion material around human capital, non-economic goals, and transparency within a relationship- centric culture.",
