PublicationComing Home or Breaking Free? A Closer Look at the Succession Intentions of Next-Generation Family Business MembersFamily business owners have a strong desire to keep their company under family control across generations. But who is best suited to take over, and which factors encourage succession within the next generation? In our previous study, Coming home or breaking free? Career choice intentions of the next generation in family businesses (2011), we explored what motivates students to pursue a career in the family business. In this study, we continue that exploration of succession intentions but with an even broader international scope. Some of our more interesting findings include: - Only 3.5% of all next generation members want to take over their parents' firm directly after college graduation; 4.9% plan to do so five years later. - The pool of potential successors who are generally open to becoming a successor is much larger (19.8% of all students with family business background). - Since 2011, succession intentions have been decreasing; we estimate a decrease of around 30%. Likely causes include a more attractive job market and potential successors developing deeper insights into what it takes to assume control of the family business. While fewer next-generation members intend to become successors, those who do may be more motivated and better prepared. - Female potential successors have weaker succession intentions than their male counterparts. In addition, we identify different important drivers of succession intentions on the cultural and institutional level, the individual level, the firm level, and the family level.Type: work report

PublicationStudent Entrepreneurship Across the Globe: A Look at Intentions and ActivitiesWhat are students' entrepreneurial intentions and activities across the world? This question is of highest social and economic relevance. Students represent the entrepreneurs of tomorrow; their entrepreneurial plans and activities will shape tomorrow's societies and the overall economic well-being. Hence, it is of highest interest for different stakeholders such as academics, practitioners, educators, policy-makers, and last but not least students how many students intend to pursue an entrepreneurial career and how those ntrepreneurial intentions come into being. The GUESSS project (Global Universiy Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey) addresses this question on a global level. For that purpose, the 6th data collection wave in the history of GUESSS was conducted in 34 countries at more than 700 universities between October 2013 and March 2014. This led to a dataset with more than 109'000 complete student responses. This report provides an in-depth analysis of this unique dataset, shedding a nuanced light on students' entrepreneurial intentions and concrete activities. We focused in particular on cross-country comparisons, whereby we also consider numerous other relevant aspects, such as gender and specific social and cultural determinants.Type: work report

PublicationEntrepreneurial Families : From a Family Enterprise to an Entrepreneurial FamilyHow do family firms succeed from generation to generation? While this is likely the most important question for the members of a family business, little is known about the central success factors in creating value across the generations. For this reason, our study aims to explore the secrets of family firms with a long, successful track record and to expand the current state of knowledge. In so doing, we want to look not only at «the family firm» but also broaden our scope to the entire entrepreneurial family behind the company. This is our contribution to a greater understanding of transgenerational value creation in entrepreneurial families, which we hope will in turn benefit a range of stakeholders.Type: work report
