Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by the principles of Passion, People, and Performance, Puig is a third-generation family-owned international luxury fashion, fragrance, and cosmetics group based in Barcelona. The company was founded 100 years ago by Antonio Puig, an art lover and habitue of the artistic circles of the time. In 1922 Puig created its first product, Milady, the first lipstick to be manufactured in Spain. Agua Lavanda, launched in 1940, became one of the company's most emblematic products, with all its ingredients coming from within Spain, and its success led to the company building its own factory and headquarters. During the 1960s the business evolved into a modern global corporation with the signing of groundbreaking designer Paco Rabanne, the establishment of its own research and development laboratories, and the use of cutting-edge talent in the field of advertising and marketing. Brands under the Puig umbrella today include Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Nina Ricci; the fragrance divisions of Comme des Garçons, Prada, and Valentino; plus the fragrance lines of celebrities such as Antonio Banderas and Shakira. AUTHOR: Eugenia de la Torriente is the fashion editor for El Pais, a national newspaper of record in Spain, and the deputy editor for El Pais Semanal, its weekly lifestyle magazine supplement. She previously published a travel book, Madrid, and contributed to Amaya Arzuaga: The season's book in 2008.

Book excerpt: Wise Family Business aims to help families in business to identify new and better ways of achieving longevity, sustainability and performance. The book presents ground-breaking new insights and practical examples from a range of growing family businesses in which the owning families are visible and, in most cases, have branded the business with their family name.

Developing a family business identity is key when building and managing an authentic, recognizable and trusted brand. It argues that family businesses that have successfully translated strong identities into strong brands are not only perceived as attractive employers but also add meaningful value to the business over generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses are everywhere, but there is little information regarding their growth and development.

With contributions from 20 scholars from 12 different countries, the book compares the relationship of families in business within their national economies, foreign capital, migration, and politics.

Politicians, family business consultants, family businesses, and international institutions will also benefit from insights within this book.

López-Morell, Ma Mercedes Bernabé Pérez, José Luis García Ruiz, Elena San Román López, Ma Jesús Segovia Vargas, Susana Blanco García, Javier Moreno Lázaro y Paloma Fernández) destacan cómo éstas han sabido conservar sus raíces a la par que han promovido la profesionalización en la gestión.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Family Firm Internationalization written by Tanja Leppäaho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-29 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Firms (FFs) form the majority of all firms around the world and they account for an enormous percentage of the employment, the revenue, and the GDP of most capitalist countries. While MNCs have long been thought of as the main contributors to international business, it is now recognised that a substantial number of family firms are active in the international arena. This handbook focuses on the features which make family firm internationalization unique. Chapters provide FF specific theories and cover the process of FF internationalization. It examines the role of network ties and provides an insight into the development of family firms that have grown into big multinationals. Importantly this Handbook equips you with a better understanding of specific features of family firms as they internationalize from or to Asian or emerging markets. Family firms offer a fruitful context to study internationalization through a process perspective, therefore this Handbook is an invaluable source of knowledge for students, scholars and policy makers in the areas of family business, entrepreneurship and internationalization.

Download or read book History by Generations written by Hartmut Berghoff and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes gehen aus einer gemeinsamen Tagung des Graduiertenkollegs "Generationengeschichte" der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen und des Deutschen Historischen Instituts in Washington hervor. Verschiedene Generationenkonzepte standen sich hier gegenüber: die europäische Idee von "Jugendgenerationen" und "politischen Generationen" und die eher pragmatische amerikanische Lesart von den "demographischen Generationen" oder den "Konsumgenerationen". Immer, so scheint es, wird die generationelle Logik überlagert von nationalen Vorstellungen der Dazugehörigkeit. Sehr deutlich arbeiten die Beiträge aus Europa und den USA heraus, dass die historische Zeit wohl in Generationen gelesen wird, doch wird Geschichte nicht von Generationen gemacht.
