The Two Sides of the Business Family
This book focuses on a central success factor for family businesses: maintaining the decision-making ability over generations while not jeopardizing the business due to family conflict, inefficient governance structures, or lack of identification. The authors identify that this is not as easy as the endeavor to bring two social systems together with contradicting logic (family and business) leads to many dangerous pitfalls. This book presents outcomes of a unique research project in which family managers of eleven of the oldest and largest German family businesses, at least the fourth generation, met for more than three years on a regular basis and presented the essence of their family gover...
Systemic Interventions
Systemic thinking has opened up further areas of specialization from one-on-one and couples therapy to clinical supervision and organizational development.Systemic intervention sees a problem as an incident involving a number of different, interacting individuals. In this sense, conflict, problems and occurrences are viewed and treated within the social context. This comprehensive introduction contains many examples and detailed suggestions for a practical approach to directed conversation.
Supervision in Bewegung
Supervision als berufsbezogene Beratung gerät in Bewegung angesichts der enormen Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt in der Postmoderne. Die damit ausgelöste Verunsicherung und oft auch Überforderung aktualisiert auch in der Supervision die Frage nach dem Sinn von Leben und Arbeit und weckt ein verstärktes Interesse an Spiritualität. Zugleich schreitet die Akademisierung der Supervision unaufhaltsam voran und die Ausbildung von SupervisorenInnen steht in der Spannung von Anwendungs- und Forschungsbezug. Unter anderem haben auch die neuen Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften zum Lernen von Erwachsenen Auswirkungen auf Didaktik und Methodik der Supervision. Wie Supervision hierauf in Theorie und Praxis reagieren kann, zeigen die AutorInnen des Bandes eindrucksvoll. Ein wichtiges Grundlagenwerk zur Supervision.

The Continuity and Discontinuity of the 250 Largest Enterprises in Germany
This book studies the long-term development of the 250 largest family and non-family enterprises in Germany between 1958 and 2018. In particular, the continuities and discontinuities of the companies’ ownership structure, operations and solvency are examined. Historical methods are used to advance the understanding of the attributed long-term orientation of family firms in family business research. The collected data of the 250 largest enterprises of 1958 provide the most comprehensive historical overview of the industrial landscape of this period. The long-term analyses show that more than half of the companies fail and less than a quarter keeps their ownership structure in the observatio...

Managing Business Family Dynasties
This book deals with dynastic business families. Such families are characterized by a circle of owners comprising more than 50 family members, which typically face specific issues and challenges for which there has been little research knowledge and practical approaches until now. The book presents results and findings from a special research project on “big family management” where 7 representatives of dynastic families from Germany were studied over a 3-year period. The result was the identification of six topic areas that management in these business families has to deal with. At the same time, the study observes that dynastic business families hardly follow the logic of classic families anymore, but can rather be understood as networks with common family backgrounds. The study also reveals that a large number of business families are heading for large shareholder groups due to changed inheritance practices. The contents outlined here provide an orientation framework for the growing business family.
Spaces of Dissension
This volume focusses on contradiction as a key concept in the Humanities and Social Sciences. By bringing together theoretical and empirical contributions from a broad disciplinary spectrum, the volume advances research in contradiction and on contradictory phenomena, laying the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field of research: Contradiction Studies. Dealing with linguistic phenomena, urban geographies, business economy, literary writing practices, theory of the social sciences, and language education, the contributions show that contradiction, rather than being a logical exemption in the Aristotelian sense, provides a valuable approach to many fields of socially, culturally, and historically relevant fields of research.
