Management von Familienunternehmen

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Kapitel werden Sie zunächst erfahren, wie Entscheidungsprozesse in Familienunternehmen vollzogen werden.

Anders formuliert: Nur derjenige, dem Anteile des Unternehmens gehören, kann die damit verbundenen Rechte wahrnehmen; er oder sie hat jedoch auch die damit einhergehenden Verpflichtungen zu erfüllen.

    Wobei es die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer familieninternen Nachfolge im Management erhöht, wenn das erstgeborene Kind männlich ist (vgl. Bennedson et al. 2007).
