‘Should My Spouse Be My Partner?’

April 10, 2013 795

On the matter of working together with one’s spouse in a business environment, views are conflicted. On the one hand, can it be a utopia—working together, living together, sharing the same goals—or does it simply create too much conflict and too many problems for the business?

In a new Family Business Review podcast, Dr. Gibb Dyer of Brigham Young University seeks to answer this question with findings from his paper, “Should My Spouse Be My FBR_72ppiRGB_150pixWPartner? Preliminary Evidence From the Panel Study of Income Dynamics,” co-authored by W. Justin Dyer of Brigham Young University and Richard G. Gardner of Texas A&M University and published in the FBR March 2013 issue.
