hi everyone, based on last weeks "godfather" skit, we'd like to start a discussion on whether people think that founding-family ownership does effect firm performance, if yes, how and to what extent. we concluded from the paper by anderson and reeb, that performance is infact related to founding family ownership. we will upload the slides soon so you can get an idea about their views and opinions in the paper.
are there any more authors in the field who have conducted similar research and come up with different and contradicting arguments and theories?
it would also be interesting if you could provide us with examples of family business in your country or in the united kingdom with have managed to fare well with founding-family ownership. reliance is an example to look at in india.
