Family Business
The succession saga
Dear Alumni, The family is an entity that can be fluid. The one in which we grow up, the one we choose for ourselves, and also the one of ESCP Alumni. Today we'd like to take a look at the families that run businesses. What are their specific characteristics, strengths and problems? How are transfers managed? What is the emotional impact? At a time when our school is launching a Chair in Family Business, we're taking you on a journey into this fascinating world through the eyes of our Alumni who know all about it first-hand.
🤝 La Grande Interview: Legacy, sustainability, competitive edge, challenges… Adrian Fricke (MS 20), Cyrile Comte (ESCP 92), Yann Rolland (EAP 76), Jennifer Neumann (EAP 98), Jean-Marc Lebhar (ESCP 71), Robert Sheldon, Professor at ESCP, and Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal (MS 07) share their insights and experiences with family businesses.
💼 Meet Philippe Houzé, Former Chairman of the Executive Board at Galeries Lafayette and President of ESCP Business School. In an exclusive interview, he shares his ambitions for the School, his passion for retail, and reflects on the importance of transmission in family-owned companies.
