Theory and Practice of Business Families and Family Businesses

This book is a commemorative publication by Prof. Dr Arist von Schlippe in celebration of his 70th birthday in April 2021. As part of his work at the Witten Institute for Family Business (WIFU) at Witten/Herdecke University since 2005, the jubilee has had a special impact on research and practice transfer. With this volume, long-standing research colleagues, companions and friends honour the great achievements of Dr von Schlippe and discuss his impact on this field for over 15 years. Dr von Schlippe is well known, professionally recognised and respected in the community of family business researchers, but, more than that, he is very much valued as a person. Almost 40 national and international colleagues from research, consulting and the field of family business dedicate specialist articles related to central issues of their work.
