Edward Elgar Publishing Developing Next Generation Leaders for Transgenerational Entrepreneurial Family Enterprises (The Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices series)

Product Description This illustrative volume considers the interface of business structures, contexts, and leadership building blocks to explore the contingent nature of leadership development in transgenerational entrepreneurship. Longitudinal case studies of twenty-seven family firms in nine different countries provide a rich, global selection of leadership development insights by examining the role of values, professionalization, leadership style and other contingent factors. Review 'An impressive team of editors from Asia, Europe, North and South America has compiled cutting-edge research on family businesses. In these chapters, we gain a global perspective of the entrepreneurial approaches families are taking to prepare the next generation of leaders. We learn strategies for family firms to survive and prosper. And we find there are lessons here that non-family businesses can apply to make transitions successful.' --- Francis Hoy, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US About the Author Edited by Pramodita Sharma, Schlesinger-Grossman Endowed Chair in Family Business, Grossman School of Business, University of Vermont, US, Nunzia Auletta, Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administración (IESA), Venezuela, Rocki-Lee DeWitt, University of Vermont, US, Maria José Parada, ESADE Business School, Spain and Mohar Yusof, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, Malaysia
