The topics addressed in this book have traditionally been covered in separate publications on civil and commercial law. This dualism of regimes has made it difficult for students and professionals alike to comprehend Spanish private law as a whole. In the past this has led to inefficient duplication of explanations, gaps in key areas and an altogether fragmented picture. Introduction to Spanish Private Law presents a consolidated, modern, and realistic image of today’s Spanish private legal system. It combines both civil and commercial law and integrates them in the same book, making the overall subject far more accessible to readers. This united approach results in a more logical and efficient process of learning. Finally the issues that are addressed reflect the reality of today’s economic and legal scene. This book attempts to provide the readers with the necessary legal instruments to tackle the real problems arising from a globalized modern society. The general principles in this book are presented from a practical point of view that emanates from the authors’ conception of a legal system as an instrument to solve social problems in accordance with a set of principles, values and aims.

Los negocios familiares dominaron y dominan la vida empresarial en España, pero apenas sabemos nada sobre el proceso de modernización de su gestión. En los dos últimos siglos estas empresas y grupos de control familiar han tenido que aprender a ir más allá de sus mercados locales y regionales y buscar formas de adaptarse a los retos de tres revoluciones tecnológicas que han cambiado su forma de producir, de relacionarse y de pensar. Los autores de La profesionalización de las empresas familiares (Pablo Díaz Morlán, Miguel A. López-Morell, Ma Mercedes Bernabé Pérez, José Luis García Ruiz, Elena San Román López, Ma Jesús Segovia Vargas, Susana Blanco García, Javier Moreno Lázaro y Paloma Fernández) destacan cómo éstas han sabido conservar sus raíces a la par que han promovido la profesionalización en la gestión.

Si gestionar una empresa no es un camino de rosas, gobernar una organización familiar suele tener alguna que otra espina de más por la peculiar mezcla de responsabilidades, trabajo y relaciones personales que en ella se producen. En este marco resulta aún más indispensable contar con un buen consejo de administración que sea capaz de decidir, con estrategia y sensatez y no con el corazón y las emociones de los lazos de sangre, el camino a seguir. Los consejos de administración de las empresas familiares han de tener las competencias, los procesos y las estructuras necesarias para responsabilizarse de la marcha de la empresa ante los accionistas, por muy familiares que estos sean. El consejo es siempre el responsable frente a los accionistas del resultado obtenido. Con el fin de guiar y explicar cómo lograr un buen consejo de administración, José María Navarro-Rubio y Josep Tàpies presentan un práctico manual de un órgano indispensable para la supervivencia y el crecimiento de la empresa familiar. Tal y como dichos autores explican, «ningún consejo de administración es totalmente inútil. Y, por lo general, basta con que el principal responsable ejecutivo quiera moverlo –trate los temas relevantes que afectan a la empresa– y con que el presidente quiera que funcione, para que sea bueno».

The "family effect" remains a challenge for researchers interested in both the family firm’s organizational form and in the effects of familial ownership on a firm's strategy, structure, and performance. Governance mechanisms, management quality, ownership concentration, and family involvement all have relevant effects in terms of influencing monitoring costs, investment decisions, the development of the portfolio of resources and capabilities, and family firm competitiveness. Nevertheless, few studies to date have opened the black box of the "family effect." Competitiveness, Organizational Management, and Governance in Family Firms is an essential reference source that makes a clear distinction between the separation of ownership and management, on the one hand, and the institutional development of family governance instruments, on the other, to help uncover the asymmetric effects of these two choices. It also allows the examination as to which of the two strategies employed in family firms reinforce managerial capital that has a greater positive impact on the "family effect," thus helping to achieve better managerial capabilities. Featuring research on topics such as corporate governance, private business, and successional leadership, this book is ideally designed for managers, executives, CEOs, company owners, consultants, business professionals, entrepreneurs, academicians, and researchers interested in an in-depth understanding of the keys to success and survival of family-operated organizations.
