Tour with a Curator: Recruiting and Succession in Family Businesses
The circle of possible successors for a family business is quite limited. He (or she) should namely come from the family and also be willing and able to continue managing the business successfully. Being able to find all these prerequisites in one’s own children is far from certain. For family businesses, succession is therefore rightly considered to be their ‘Achilles’ heel’. Entrepreneur families have developed various strategies for meeting this challenge. Based on the businesses and their families included in the exhibition, the historian and curator Kai Bosecker presents various approaches – which were, however, not always completely successful – for passing the family business on to one’s own descendants.
Number of participants limited.
