Family businesses are all around us: from local ‘mom-and-pop’ stores and the millions of small and medium-sized companies that underpin many economies to household names such as BMW, Samsung and Wal-Mart Stores. One-third of all companies in the SandP 500 index and 40 per cent of the 250 largest companies in France and Germany are defined as family businesses, meaning that a family owns a significant share and can influence important decisions, particularly the election of the chairman and CEO (Caspar, Dias and Elsdrodt, 2010).
