PublicationRelation between Governance Structures, Agency Issues, and Justice Principles in Family Firms( 2015-06-30)If the family business shall remain in the family incumbents must choose according to which justice principle they transfer the family business - ownership and management - to the next generation.

Each choice leads to different governance structures that entail particular consequences, such as agency issues. In the following I will analyze three different succession options - succession according to equity, succession according to equality as well as a succession form that encompasses both principles - and carve out in a dynamic approach the particular challenges that arise in the family business under an agency perspective. This paper is a conceptual one that combines justice and agency considerations in the family business succession.Type: conference paper
