Continuity of the family business in times of digitalization
Continuity of the family business in times of digitalization
The central research question of this project is: what are the consequences of exponential digitalization on actors in the family business?
Rapid evolutions in digitalization pose specific challenges for family businesses. For example, these evolutions have an impact on the family system, being the relationships between family members. Also the business system with the usual business models is not untouched. The developments in the business system in turn affect the family system, and the ownership system (the predominant control of family shareholders) which comes under pressure. However, the literature on digitalization and its impact on family businesses is very limited. This research aims to change that.
