TL;DR: The degree to which the family dominates as a form of business organization depends in part on whether a business's operations favor the implicit informal personal relationships of families or the explicit, formal, impersonal contractual relationships, characteristic of market-oriented organizations as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The degree to which the family dominates as a form of business organization depends in part on whether a business’s operations favor the implicit informal personal relationships of families or the explicit, formal, impersonal contractual relationships, characteristic of market-oriented organizations. In some situations family identity, trust, personal ties, and the monitoring functions that family relationships provide promote greater incentives for success than explicit, formal contracts. In other cases, formal relationships can provide a more effective means of linking workers within the firm, even when the workers are family members.

TL;DR: Most centers had established formal relationships with training institutions but generally had limited involvement with course planning, and most centers had offered training to students from many disciplines, with nursing and medicine the most frequent.
Abstract: Increasing demand for health professionals with training in ambulatory and primary care practice is placing stress on existing train- ing site capacity. Community health centers can serve as model training sites, offering comprehensive multidisciplinary health care services and teaching clinician role models. In this study, 32 Illinois community and migrant health centers and federally qualified health centers were surveyed to assess their involvement with training in the past three years. Thirty centers had offered training to students from many disciplines, with nurs- ing (27 centers) and medicine (24) the most frequent. Most centers had established formal relationships with training institutions but generally had limited involvement with course planning. Continued participation will likely require adequate funding, with some centers also seeking stronger institutional relationships and better integration of community health issues. Educators and policy makers may need to tA¤te a more active role in supporting centers, acquiring funds, and other enabling factors.
