Indians in Malaysia make thriving businesses. The
richest man in Malaysia is of Indian origin. Yet most
Malaysian Indian enterprises
are small family businesses. A saying among the
Malaysian Indian entrepreneurs states that the third
generation will break the
enterprise . This book examines the businesses, based
on fieldwork
by the author. Process analysis of the case material
presented, suggests that the
life cycle of a business corresponds to the model of
the joint family: An entrepreneur founds the
enterprise; the second generation
continues building the enterprise as a joint estate.
In the third
generation the enterprise, and the joint family,
disintegrates. The
analysis demonstrates that a set of two
incommensurate values can
explain the observed emergent social organization of
the Indian
diasporic entrepreneurs. The first of these values is
the desire among Indians to be eminent successful
individuals .
The second, conflicting value, is that of patriarchal
authority
implicating that of
being a subordinate son or daughter, and thus the
impossibility to
achieve eminence within the family and enterprise,
unless they
break out on their own.
