Despite a dramatic surge in the number and total volume of these transactions, their consequences for the bought-out companies are yet poorly understood.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nConsidering this background, Oliver Klöckner investigates the changes resulting from buy-outs in family businesses in the areas of corporate governance, instruments of managerial control, and financial practices. A comprehensive literature review contrasts the characteristics of family businesses with those of non-family businesses after a buy-out. This theoretical discussion is complemented by an in-depth analysis of 17 bought-out family businesses in Germany. The detailed analysis reveals a multitude of changes, which can be subsumed under three main effects: First, companies are professionalized. Second, corporate processes are more directed towards economic goals, i.e. economized. Third, agency conflicts arising from the separation of ownership and management are reduced.","brand":"Gabler Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53666890252630,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/klockner-oliver-buy-outs-in-family-businesses-9783834916273","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
