Today’s companies in diverse industries perceive increasing competition and an accelerating pace of change. To cope with these challenges, they need to leverage their current competencies and exploit existing products and services, while simultaneously build new capabilities to develop innovative solutions. Therefore, instead of selecting and maintaining a focus on either efficiency or flexibility, these firms balance resource allocation and become so-called ambidextrous organizations. W. Henning Blarr analyzes this balancing act, requiring the ability to simultaneously pursue both incremental and discontinuous change. He shows that compared to organizations focusing on either exploitative or explorative activities, ambidextrous organizations significantly obtain higher levels of financial performance.
Ülke ekonomileri içerisinde oldukça büyük bir paya sahip olan aile işletmeleri, 1990’lı yıllardan bu yana yerli ve yabancı literatürde sıklıkla ele alınan önemli bir kavramdır.

L’ageism (termine inglese per definire l’invecchiamento della popolazione aziendale) è una parola tuttora sconosciuta, a dispetto degli studi e delle proiezioni demografiche che dimostrano in maniera concorde che il tema dell’invecchiamento sarà sempre più centrale. Il tema dell’invecchiamento della popolazione è solitamente affrontato in riferimento al perseguimento dell’equilibrio economico-finanziario dei sistemi di welfare. Pochi sembrano accorgersi dell’impatto che l’invecchiamento della popolazione aziendale ha. Infatti il rapido invecchiamento della popolazione funge da acceleratore del problema e costringe le aziende ad affrontarlo, adeguando l’organizzazione del ...

Fidelity, Hallmark, Michelin, and Wal-Mart are renowned industry powerhouses with long leadership track records. Yet these celebrated companies are united by another factor not generally equated with competitive success: They are all family-controlled businesses. While many view the hallmarks of family businesses—stable strategies, clan cultures, and unencumbered family ownership—as weaknesses, Danny Miller and Isabelle Le Breton-Miller argue that it is these very characteristics that create formidable competitive advantages for many such firms. Managing for the Long Run draws from a worldwide study of enduring, family-run organizations—including Cargill, Timken, L.L. Bean, The New Yor...
Was ist notwendig, um künftige Krisen wie die Finanzkrise von 2008 zu vermeiden? Wie finden wir eine Balance zwischen dem einseitigen, am kurzfristigen Eigennutz orientierten finanzmathematischen Kalkül und den Prinzipien und Regeln für ein nachhaltiges, menschendienliches Wirtschaften? Was können wir aus der Geschichte lernen? Diese Fragen standen im Zentrum der Gespräche von Hartmut Kreikebaum und seinem Sohn Marcus Kreikebaum. In ihrem Buch rekapitulieren sie die Ursachen und Folgen der Finanzkrise und stellen zahlreiche Lösungsansätze vor: - ordnungspolitische Ansätze, - pragmatische finanz- und personalpolitische Ansätze, - ökologische Lösungsansätze. Die Autoren plädieren für eine "Renaissance der Vernunft" im Sinne einer Bejahung der menschlichen Verantwortung, den selbstzerstörerischen Tendenzen der Marktkräfte Einhalt zu gebieten und sie auf das Gemeinwohl umzulenken - damit die Kehrtwende zur Zukunft gelingt.

Corinna M. Lindow substantiates, develops, and tests a strategic fit perspective on family firm performance in order to contribute to explaining previous inconclusive findings. In particular, she aims at investigating whether strategic fit determines family firm performance and what role family influence plays. Based on a sample of German family firms, the author indicates that, against expectations, family firms’ performance is not driven by strategic fit but through the effective use of family-specific factors such as family business governance and family culture. Further, the results suggest that family influence has important implications for strategy, organizational structure, and the achievement of strategic fit.
