Chapter 6 in Masterpieces of Swiss Entrepreneurship, 2021, pp 57-67 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter puts the spotlight on the various forms of owner-management models adopted by the researched companies, and how they evolved over time as ownership passed on to the next generation. At first, a comparison between owner-manager and professional manager models is offered. Tracking the various changes as a company evolves, the chapter shows experiences with first-generation vs. second- and multi-generational owner-managed models. The difficulty of staying with the owner-manager model is covered, and the challenges of separating ownership and management. The chapter concludes with the challenges of recruiting successors and the unique management style practices of SMEs.
