{"product_id":"9783658499648","title":"Longevity of Family Firms (Familienunternehmen und KMU)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy do some family businesses last for generations, while others disappear after only a few decades? A familiar belief holds that survival beyond the third generation is rare, and in capital-intensive industries, it is thought to be nearly impossible. Yet many family firms do endure.\nThis book takes readers inside the world of long-standing family companies to uncover what makes longevity possible, and what leads to failure. Focusing on the German paper and pulp industry, a sector marked by volatility, cyclicality, and tradition, the study compares both survivors and non-survivors. Drawing on in-depth interviews with family owners and industry experts, it develops a grounded theory framework that highlights four conditions of longevity: survival of industry potential, avoiding downfall, enterprise sustainability, and enduring family influence.\nThe findings reveal that longevity is not only achievable but often the very purpose that drives family owners forward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.- Literature Review.- Research Methodology.- Findings, Model Building and Discussion.- Conclusion and Recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Quratul Aan is a research fellow at the Leadership Excellence Institute Zeppelin (LEIZ), Zeppelin University, Germany.
