Managing Business Family Dynasties

More about the book

Focusing on the dynamics of dynastic business families, the book explores the unique challenges faced by these extensive family networks, often comprising over 50 members. Through a three-year study of seven German families, it identifies six key management areas essential for navigating their complexities. The research highlights a shift away from traditional family structures towards network-like configurations, influenced by evolving inheritance practices that lead to larger shareholder groups. This work offers valuable insights for the increasing number of business families today.
