商品描述

Why do some family businesses last for generations, while others disappear after only a few decades? A familiar belief holds that survival beyond the third generation is rare, and in capital-intensive industries, it is thought to be nearly impossible. Yet many family firms do endure.
This book takes readers inside the world of long-standing family companies to uncover what makes longevity possible, and what leads to failure. Focusing on the German paper and pulp industry, a sector marked by volatility, cyclicality, and tradition, the study compares both survivors and non-survivors. Drawing on in-depth interviews with family owners and industry experts, it develops a grounded theory framework that highlights four conditions of longevity: survival of industry potential, avoiding downfall, enterprise sustainability, and enduring family influence.
The findings reveal that longevity is not only achievable but often the very purpose that drives family owners forward.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

為什麼有些家族企業能夠延續幾代,而另一些卻在短短幾十年內消失?一個普遍的觀念認為,超越第三代的生存是罕見的,尤其在資本密集型產業中,這被認為幾乎是不可能的。然而,許多家族企業仍然持續存在。
本書帶領讀者深入長期存在的家族企業世界,揭示使其長壽的因素,以及導致失敗的原因。研究專注於德國的紙漿產業,這是一個以波動性、循環性和傳統為特徵的行業,並比較了存活者和非存活者。通過對家族擁有者和行業專家的深入訪談,發展出一個基於實證的理論框架,強調長壽的四個條件:行業潛力的生存、避免衰退、企業的可持續性,以及持久的家族影響力。
研究結果顯示,長壽不僅是可實現的,往往也是驅動家族擁有者前進的真正目的。
