Freeing the Shackles of Family Business Ownership
探讨影响两家澳大利亚家族企业所有权内外部挑战的因素,并为希望变现或保留控制权的所有者提供有效及时的所有权转移指南。
Ownership and management succession are recognized as defining processes for family businesses worldwide. Through the generations, as the family tree spreads, shareholdings become more dispersed, with no guarantee that all family shareholders will have the same degree of commitment to, and interest in, the family business. This paper discusses factors influencing the outcome of external and internal challenges to ownership of two interrelated Australian family businesses— one in its fifth generation, the other in its third. It concludes with guidelines to allow for effective and timely ownership transfer for those wishing to realize capital or retain control of their inherited investment.
