Abstract
This chapter provides a summary of various elements presented in the book that build the conditions for the continuity of successful family businesses.
This chapter focuses on four major elements:
-
1.
Values—as the means by which the individuals build their own identity as members of a family business.
-
2.
The relationships between generations—how these represent the basis for continuity within these family businesses.
-
3.
Family identity—how this strengthens family business.
-
4.
Family and business—how these become equal domains through the role of the individual who links the two.
Each element is discussed separately in this chapter.
