External investors

  • Within this doctoral dissertation, I explore external investments in family firms. In particular, this dissertation comprises three independent studies to contribute to and extend current literature regarding family firms and external investors. The first study extends research on external investments in family firms by fundamentally analyzing the decision criteria of family firm owner-managers for using external minority investments, thus representing a first interim step of external succession. The second study changes the point of view and contributes by analyzing the drivers of financial investors’ preference for acquiring a family firm. The third study analyzes drivers resulting in financial investors’ successful or unsuccessful acquisition of family firms.
