Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Di 29.11.2022 14:07
Family firms are the most ubiquitous form of business organization globally and the enduring influence of families on business and society is an essential part of the backbone of any world economy. Family businesses are different from any other profit-seeking organization due to the family’s influence on the firm’s strategic goals, governance structures and competitive resources. We will consider how aspects such as ownership, succession, sibling rivalry and relationships with non-family members affect the international strategic choices of family firms in terms of entry modes, location choices, strategic partnerships, processes and post-entry dynamics. Consistently with its practice-oriented nature, this course will include also guest lectures from family business leaders, consultants and experts, in order to foster interactions between the students and the entrepreneurial community.
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
• Understand the unique strategic and managerial challenges for family firms operating internationally.
• Identify strengths and weaknesses of family firms in the international context.
• Critically appraise how family heterogeneity in terms of family structures, functions, interactions and events affect family firm internationalization choices.
• Consider the different strategic drivers of family business behaviour at international level.
• Comprehend how the factors occurring over time to the family and the business affect internationalization process and outcomes.
• Evaluate how contextual factors, such as institutions, market and industry contingencies affect family firm internationalization.
