Full Description
Simon Caspary examines how the socialisation of offspring from entrepreneurial families is influenced by the existence of a family business. To answer the initial question, a pluralistic approach is chosen that maps the mechanisms and influencing variables on the socialisation and identity formation of the offspring. In addition to a dedicated overview of the relevant literature, the comprehensive theoretical review makes a significant contribution to advancing knowledge of the socialisation context of family businesses in academic discourse.
