Leading the Family Business Through Succession examines leadership and succession in family business, showing how current and next generation members can develop the business side by side. It challenges the traditional, hierarchical model of leadership and succession in family business, showing that this approach is no longer aligned to modern organizational needs. Instead, this book examines how current and next generations can bridge the gap and co-evolve as peers for a significant stretch of time. It outlines leadership practices families can employ to navigate the transition towards new ways of working together and how generations can collaborate to address the myriad challenges and opportunities affecting businesses today, balancing legacy and transformation. This book is informed by methodologies tried-and-tested in years of MBA and executive-level teaching at business schools such as INSEAD, St Gallen and London Business School. Taking a global approach and drawing on cutting edge insights and research, it provides case studies and examples featuring family businesses from around the world, such as Europe, the Americas, the Far East and the Middle East, highlighting how different family businesses can learn from each other. It is ideal for MBA and executive level courses on family business and will also be of interest to family business leaders, advisors and managers.

ISBN: 9780521804721

In this new textbook, Andrea Colli gives a historical and comparative perspective on family business, examining through time the different relationships within family businesses and among family enterprises, inside different political and institutional contexts. He compares the performance of family businesses with that of other economic organizations, and looks at how these enterprises have contributed to the evolution of contemporary industrial capitalism. Central to his discussion are the reasons for both the decline and persistence of family business, how it evolved historically, the different forms it has taken over time, and how it has contributed to the growth of single economies. The book summarises previous research into family business, and situates many aspects of family business - such as their strategies, contribution, failure and decline - in an economic, social, political and institutional context. It will be of key interest to students of economic history and business studies.
