Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Edinburgh (Business School), course: Method of Research, language: English, abstract: Business succession is always a challenging time for any business, but generational change is often a critical factor in the success or demise of family-run businesses. During period of generational change, the company offers both the incumbent and the successor a great challenge. This sensitive issue thus has to be conducted with careful planning because it is one of the most critical phases in the life cycle of a company, with a lot of chances and risks linked to the process. Further successions are also complicated, with half of established family run companies successfully reaching the second generation stage, but only around three or four percent successfully mastering the handover to a third generation. The causes of these succession issues are varied, and the challenges they create will be investigated in this piece. As such, further research is needed in this area, including the specific succession challenges faced in German Family Businesses, and strategies to overcome them. The primary research question is: What are the key generational challenges faced by German Family Businesses, and to what extent do they create risks of failure for these businesses.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, University of Edinburgh (Business School ), language: English, abstract: This assignment deals with the issue of service management for organisations that essentially sell products, the various aspects of service management in such organisations, and the impact of service delivery on the growth, market share and profitability of these organisations. Use is made of the case of Whitbread plc, the UK's largest operator of budget hotels, to discuss the issue of service provisioning and its management in the budget hotel environment. The conduct of this study reveals that modern day product companies often have to provide services, as well as bundle them up with their products, in order to achieve customer satisfaction and improve customer relationships and loyalty. The provisioning of such services, including their formulation, planning, and delivery, is however an exceedingly complex process that can create operational and financial challenges for the involved organisations.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Edinburgh (Business School ), language: English, abstract: This essay has sought to understand how long-term planning in family business can be a successful means of enhancing their success and surivival in the future. Less than one third of family-owned businesses survive into the second generation, with between 10-15% actually being continued into the third generation, it is essential to understand which factors may increase the longevity of modern family businesses and enhance their success in the future. Family members oversee, look after and maintain the business so that it is in a strong position when it is passed down to the next generation of family members. This focus ensures that those managing the family business have their eye on the long-term success of the company, and are less interested in shortterm profits.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of Edinburgh (Business School ), language: English, abstract: The reasons of the successful longevity of many family businesses compared to the short life span of others are not far different from the reasons that glue together family members in a tied long-term relationship. In fact, especially after some generations, when the numbers of members would grow, blood linkages are not enough to guarantee the continuity of the relationship among family members. What makes family relationship last longer are shared values and sense of belonging. In our analysis of three well-established companies, Arco, Musgrave group and Berry Bro & Rudd Limited, we noticed that also family companies' longevity secret lies in these same principles that maintain together family members through different generations. Adopting family values and extending them to the company culture will determine the long-term survival of family relationship with the business. In the three companies we examined the internal understanding of family's values appear to define the entire organization's behaviours.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Rechnungswesen, Bilanzierung, Steuern, Note: 1,5, Hochschule Fulda, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit wird diskutiert, inwieweit die aus der handelsrechtlichen Unternehmensrechnung bekannten Zwecke für den Konzernabschluss zugleich Zwecke für den kommunalen Gesamtabschluss sind, so dass sich die Anwendung der speziell für diese Zwecke entwickelten Rechnungsregeln auch in Kommunen rechtfertigen lässt. Die Mängel der Einzelabschlüsse werden sollen über einen Konzernabschluss kompensiert, darum ist es notwendig zu prüfen, inwieweit sich Ähnlichkeiten oder Unterschiede zu den Einzelabschlüssen kommunaler Berichtseinheiten ergeben. So könnte eine Übersicht über die Verhältnisse der Kommune z.B. dadurch erschwert werden, dass öffentlicher Zweck und wirtschaftliche Betätigung nicht sinnvoll über ein gemeinsames Rechnungsziel bestimmen können. Als Ergebnis der Untersuchung stellt sich heraus, dass die Zwecke von Konzern- und Gesamtabschluss zwar vergleichbar sind, die Mängel auf Ebene der Einzelabschlüsse allerdings unterschiedlich gelagert sind:während die im Konzern eingebundenen Einheiten direkt dem Mangel der Einzelbetrachtung unterliegen, der durch den Konzernabschluss berücksichtigt wird, können sich bei den einzelnen kommunalen Berichtseinheiten zusätzlich Probleme aus der Anwendung der handelsrechtlichen Vorschriften für Ansatz und Bewertung sowie aus der Übernahme des Rechnungsziels Perio- dengewinn (G + V-Periodenerfolg) ergeben, die sich im Gesamtabschluss fortsetzen und durch die Zusammenführung noch verstärken. Daher wird abschließend ein Vorschlag erstellt, an welchen Stellen anzusetzen ist, um die mit dem Gesamtabschluss im Kern die beabsichtige Zielsetzung doch zu erreiche.
