Understanding the contesting ideologies of family business: challenge for leadership and professional services
Article Abstract:
The family business system's combination of entrepreneurialism, managerialism, and paternalism is discussed and a model is offered to synthesize the different ideologies. The study is based on the theoretical background of the developments of Johannisson and Huse (2000) and Tagiuri and Davis (1996), and the summary of the key results emphasizes the need for balance among creation, caring and control, since in a professional family business, consulting is similar to good parenting.

Results from this study suggest that mergers and acquisitions (M & As) processes differ along structure, motivation and culture dimensions, and also post-acquisition considerations for M & As involving family firms, as the future likelihood of family firms being involved in acquisitions is high.
