Synopsis

Family Business and Management: Objectives, Theory, and Practice characterizes the specificity of the functioning of family businesses through the prism of their objectives.

It contains both theoretical considerations about the essence of family entrepreneurship and the objectives set by family businesses, as well as the results of a survey conducted among family business managers. The study concerned the objectives of family businesses and made it possible to confront the planned objectives with those actually implemented by these entities. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of management, taking into account both business and non-business (family) aspirations. The classification models created in the course of the analyzes additionally help to organize the population of family businesses and better understand its diversity. The book also shows the impact of succession plans on setting objectives, as well as the importance of the management styles used in the implementation of objectives set by family businesses.

This book will be valuable to students at an advanced level, academics, and practitioners. It addresses the topics with regard to management and organizational studies and will be of interest to organizational scholars, consultants, and leaders interested in establishing and realizing goals in family business.
