La familia empresaria

Continuity is the great challenge for business families. However, statistics show that only 30% of family businesses reach the second generation, less than 10% reach the third generation and a percentage less than 5% is projected to the fourth or more generations. It is also relevant to note that, in almost 2 out of 3 cases of death in companies, they are caused by conflicts that arise between members of the owner family. A catastrophe in economic terms, but also for the personal relationships of the owner family. Business families must approach their task in a particularly complex and dynamic context where transformations occur at breakneck speed as a result of phenomena such as digitization and globalization. These changes in the environment make business sustainability especially difficult and also widen the generation gap, which hinders the necessary family cohesion. For these reasons, business families must place special emphasis on working on the key levers that facilitate their continuity. In this book, Manuel Bermejo gives business families 21 pieces of advice throughout the 21 chapters so that they can work with the purpose of facilitating the delivery of their legacy to the next generation. The book is full of examples and practical cases that the author has lived in his long career advising business families, which will help the reader to successfully apply the advice and thus ensure that his company passes from generation to generation.
