Zusammenfassung

Sind Familienunternehmen genau wie alle anderen Unternehmen? Ich sage „nein“. Warum das so ist, liegt neben anderen Faktoren auch an der Tatsache, dass Familienunternehmen dazu neigen, sozioemotionales Kapital zu erhalten. Dies muss nicht immer zwingend ökonomischen Grundsetzen folgen.

In dieser Arbeit habe ich aufbauend auf einer multiplen Fallstudienuntersuchung ein Nachfolgemodell entwickelt, welches genau diese sozioemotionale Komponente von Familienunternehmen beachtet.

Dadurch ergeben sich gleichermaßen theoretische als auch praktische Implikationen. Zum einen konnte der von Gomez-Mejia et al. (2011, S. 661) prognostizierte Einfluss von sozioemotionalem Kapital auf den Nachfolgeprozess empirisch erhärtet werden. Zum anderen ist dieses Modell in der Praxis und in der täglichen Arbeit mit und in Familienunternehmen durchaus relevant, da es einen spezifischen und entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktor im Nachfolgeprozess beachtet.
