The Rise and Downfall of Germany’s Largest Family and Non-Family Businesses
Maximilian Lantelme examines the historical growth and decline developments of large German family and non-family businesses between 1971 and 2011. Based on a sample of the 143 largest German companies in 1971 and in 2011, the author investigates the long-term development of each company and calculates compound annual growth rates (CAGR) to compare the developments of total sales and of the number of employees between the enterprises with the overall development of the German economy. Additionally, he presents the exit rates as well as the reasons for the downfalls of the different types of companies. The results show a superior development of family businesses especially compared to non-family businesses due to lower exit and higher growth rates. The strategic implications are that family businesses should achieve a certain corridor of growth in the long-term to secure the company’s existence over generations.

Downfall of Large German Listed Companies
Sebastian Frericks examines, based on a qualitative content analysis, the factors that lead large German listed companies to downfall. He finds factors and motives uncaredfor as well as new interrelations between variables that can be used to develop a future-looking risk sensitivity based on a going-concern-principle. Therefore, he first works out latent factors that are primarily responsible for not preventing a firm from losing its independency. In a second step the motives of sellers in a company sale process are examined. Within the following comprehensive cross-study, the author presents relations between motives, factors, field of business and type of downfall. The results provide new insights for any organization to address the probabilities of failure and downfall and to think beyond about securing the company's existence.
Varieties of Family Business
Familienunternehmen sind in Deutschland und in den USA zentrale Bausteine der jeweiligen Volkswirtschaft. Und doch gibt es signifikante Unterschiede in der Unternehmens- und Familienkultur sowie der institutionellen Umwelt. So wird Deutschland in den USA um seine leistungsstarken Familienunternehmen, vor allem die Hidden Champions, beneidet. Zudem bestehen deutsche Familienunternehmen im Durchschnitt deutlich länger. Wie kam es zu diesen Divergenzen? Die von der Stiftung Familienunternehmen herausgegebene historische Langzeitbetrachtung analysiert die Ursachen und Auswirkungen der Unternehmenslandschaften in beiden Ländern von der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. For an English description see: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/V/bo86151146.html

Die Gewinnverwendung gestaltet sich bei Familienunternehmen in vielen strategischen und operativen Fragen anders als bei Publikumsgesellschaften. Dieses Buch stellt diese Besonderheiten im Detail dar und bietet somit einen profunden Leitfaden für das Familienunternemen als Vermögensanlage. Die aufgestellten Regeln zur Ausschüttungspolitik berücksichtigen dabei sowohl die möglichen Interessen der Gesellschafter als auch die rechtlichen und steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen.
Governance des Familienunternehmens
Hermut Kormann untersucht für den Kreis deutscher, nicht börsennotierter Familienunternehmen die Gestaltung der gesamten Governance, von der Family Governance auf der Ebene der Gesellschafter über Funktionen, die typischerweise von einem Beirat oder vergleichbaren Gremien wahrgenommen werden, bis hin zur Corporate Governance auf der Ebene der Geschäftsführung.
