The Market Basket case focuses on how a family, when communication between members breaks down, can single handedly bring the downfall of a powerful, large, influential company. Even though a family owned company may start out working well, there is a high chance that after several generations, the communication between members falls apart and the avarice between members increase leaving the company to fend for itself as the families dual it out to figure out who has sole ownership of the company. Leon Danco, the founder of the Center for Family Business in Cleveland, and the author of four books about family business, has strong opinions about the involvement of family members in a company and would have several recommendations to the Market Basket families that could have prevented…

Luther Halsey Gulick had asked Dr. Naismith to create an indoor activity that could be played during winter, in two weeks. Dr. Naismith was stumped, he started researching and learning the rules to other sports just to get an idea of what he was going to do (Gels). He then thought of a game where the player had to through the ball at an arched position into a basket. Once he had made the rules to the game he introduced it to Gulick. Although this sport was a hit, Dr. Naismith never got the game pattened, and he never made any money off of it (McCuaig).…
