Family firms are of particular importance for many economies. We
know little about family firm buyouts and how they are different
from non-family firm buyouts. Oliver Ahlers investigates this
under-researched topic. After a comprehensive literature review on
family firm buyouts, the focus of his book is on the key steps of
the investment process such as family firm valuation and
negotiations between PE investors and family sellers. Additionally,
it is investigated how “soft factors” such as trust, reputation or
commitment could play an important role when PE and family firms
interact. Throughout the book, differences between family and
non-family firm buyouts are highlighted.
