Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: MBA, language: English, abstract: The funding landscape in Germany, including corporate funding, has changed significantly in recent years. The main reason for this change is the banking and financial market crisis through which profitability and risk considerations have become much more important in the business policies of financial institutions nowadays. At the same time, analysts are talking about the biggest change in leadership of the post-war period in medium-sized companies in Germany. 1 Many family businesses were founded after 1945, so that the founders have to start considering a potential successor regime, as they are getting older. This includes high financing needs (in the form of the purchase price, taxes and severance pay) that cannot be fully covered by the successors in most cases. With respect to the outstanding importance of these two main aspects, the aim of the present work is to show the opportunities and risks of investment management and especially funding by private equity in the context of corporate succession. The conclusion of this paper finally shows that there are various opportunities and risks in the context of investment management regarding corporate successions. Each form of financing has its advantages and disadvantages, which must be analyzed carefully and according to the company ́s needs and strategies before deciding which form of financing should be chosen.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, University of applied sciences Dortmund, course: Investment, language: English, abstract: Company successions are an important theme for the economy. The amount of enterprises, which search for a successor, increased in the last years. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises are affected by this issue. In this case the issue arises, that no internal successor is available. That’s why external opportunities have to be considered. Among options like foundations or management buy-outs, private equity investors are one possibility of a successor. These investors bring new equity and know how into the enterprise. On the other side, private equity firms often invest only for a defined period and focus on the return on investments. That’s why private equity firms mention in the sales contract specific rights and agreements. These rights include e.g., that other shareholder have to sell their shares, if the private equity firm wants to sell its shares. Furthermore, if the private equity firm wants to go public, the other shareholders must agree. If these rights are reflected in the sales contract, the private equity firm has the total power over the enterprise. That’s why especially in the contract phase the current entrepreneur should be alerted, what agreements are reflected in the contract. Otherwise the PE firm holds sway over the whole company. After the defined time horizon, the private equity firm leaves the enterprise. For this different exit strategies exist: An Initial public offering, a trade sale, a secondary sale or a buy back. The most interesting one for the investor is to go public, followed by a trade sale. Going public means a high return on investments for the investor. All in all, the entrepreneur holds the strings: He can influence the future of the company, because he chooses the successor for the enterprise. If he reflects, what the enterprise needs and gets the motivation of the investor, why he wants to buy the enterprise, he can choose the right successor for his company.

Download or read book Practical Succession Management written by Andrew Munro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succession management, often little more than an annual form-filling chore and a throwback to 'chess board' charting of 1950s multinationals, needs revitalisation to become a key driver of organisational renewal in the twenty-first century. Whilst recent corporate failings have focused attention on the difficulties of leadership succession, those organisations which have made the transition to greatness have understood the impact of strategic resourcing in renewing their leadership capability and character. The challenge for organisations is reconciling leadership demand and supply. When it may be impossible to say what your organisation will look like in three years time, or what strategy it will be pursuing, demand becomes difficult to predict. And in an era of shifting career realities, supply management needs to be more than an analysis of the age profile of the leadership population. Practical Succession Management is a response to the increasing relevance of proactive succession management but the widespread difficulty of making it happen. The author focuses on the business realities of succession management rather than provide a conceptualisation of how it might work in principle or simply headline a series of corporate 'just so' stories. In a robust evaluation of relevant research and imaginative practice, Andrew Munro maps out the battlegrounds for succession management, with tools and techniques to guide readers from start to finish. The result is a book that will stimulate and challenge your thinking in opening up new options and provide practical methodologies to advance strategic resourcing within your organisation.

Download or read book Succession Planning for Financial Advisors written by David Grau, Sr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is going to challenge you and everything you think you know about succession planning. For independent advisors, succession planning is quickly becoming the cornerstone to a strategic growth strategy designed to perpetuate their business and their income streams beyond their own lifetime, while providing a multi-generational service platform that attracts and rewards younger advisors. This makes succession planning one of the most, if not the most, important practice management tools in this industry today. As an independent financial advisor, now is the time to address the question of what will happen to your practice and your clients after you “exit the building.” In most cases, the answers are right in front of you. Thankfully, Succession Planning for Financial Advisors: Building an Enduring Business has arrived to transform today’s practices into businesses designed to endure and prosper and serve generations of clients. Learn how to create a “Lifestyle Succession Plan” that can provide a lifetime of income and benefits to the founder even as he/she gradually retires on the job Unlock the power of equity management – the best planning and building tool an independent advisor owns Learn how to attract and retain the best of the next generation to help you build a great business and to support your succession plans and care for your clients and their families Determine precisely when to start a formal succession plan and related continuity plan so that your business can work for you when you need it most Understand why succession planning and selling your business are completely different strategies, but how they can complement each other when used correctly 95% of independent financial service professionals are one owner practices. To the positive, these practices are among the most valuable professional service models in America. But almost all advisors are assembling their practices using the wrong tools – tools borrowed from historically successful, but vastly different models including wirehouses, broker-dealers, and even OSJ’s and branch managers. Revenue sharing, commission splitting and other eat-what-you-kill compensation methods dominate the independent sector and virtually ensure that today’s independent practices, if left unchanged, will not survive the end of their founder’s career. It is time to change course and this book provides the map and the details to help you do just that. For independent practice owners and staff members, advisors who want to transition to independence, as well as accountants, attorneys, coaches and others involved in the financial services space, there are invaluable lessons to be learned from Succession Planning for Financial Advisors. Written by the leading succession planning expert in the financial services industry, former securities regulator, M&A specialist, and founder of the nationally recognized consulting and equity management firm, FP Transitions, David Grau Sr., JD, has created an unmatched resource that will have an enduring and resounding impact on an entire industry.

Book excerpt: If managed wisely, investments in information technology (IT) can enrich people's lives and improve organizational performance. For example, during the last decade the Internet has matured from being a technical novelty to a national resource where citizens can visit the Library of Congress or file their tax returns. Some organizations have realized substantial improvements in processing data and information by switching from centralized mainframe computing to decentralized personal computers linked by local area networks. The ability of software applications to locate and correlate relevant data in a data warehouse permits organizations to discover unknown fiscal or physical resource relationships and thus provide appropriate assistance where there had been none. The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996' was enacted to address many of the problems related to federal IT management.

Download or read book Succeeding at Succession written by Peter Bunton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By providing case studies of Christian organizations and networks which have recently undergone succession, and drawing upon perspectives from leadership theory, psychology, organizational development, and theology, this work shows multiple overlapping aspects of succession. These facets include plans, processes, gender implications, theologies of leadership, successor origins, relationship between outgoing and incoming leaders, selection methods, and organizational beliefs manifested in succession ceremonies. An analysis of the various successions studied reveals the need for the organization or network to reflect on its own understandings and theologies of leadership; without so doing, organizational succession could be impaired. While exploring the complexities of leadership succession, particularly founder succession, this book provides clear lessons and guidance for those navigating such transitions in leadership.
