Example text
This generational perspective of value creation may be the single, largest intangible asset family successors bring to business leadership. None of these qualities are understood or valued by conventional wisdom. Instead, according to convention, the most important characteristics to assess in choosing business leaders are their professional qualifications and experience. Candidates for the most senior management positions are expected to be supremely competent and to have demonstrated a history of success in a long climb up the management ladder.
Family owners are often captive investors, which keeps them both more engaged with their businesses and more focused on the issues of long-term value creation and transfer. Tax planning is an essential element of this focus, and the ability to align ownership and business interests in this process can be particularly powerful. Managing decisions to avoid or minimize taxes and preserve cash can benefit the family and the business in many ways. In privately held companies, valuation discounting can be applied in transfer taxes, and discounts for minority interests and lack of liquidity can greatly reduce the tax burden.
A close look at their business strategies reveals many creative, distinct, and cleverly designed approaches to business. In fact, their unusual and unpredictable strategic disparity is likely their unifying element. These strategies display a high degree of adaptation and specificity that at first glance defies explanation. This experience at IMD has generated the fundamental conclusion that family firms and the families that own them succeed by pursuing unconventional strategies and thinking. The more that is learned, the more need there is to dismiss negative assumptions and dispense with conventional wisdom, if the success of family businesses is to be penetrated and understood.
