Listed Family Companies are a focal point of family business research on the management side. This is hardly surprising, as the data situation here is much better than for private family businesses. At the same time, one can ask how representative the listed family business is of the much more common form of private family business. The listed family business inevitably has non-family shareholders and is subject to more intensive regulation, particularly in terms of transparency. This specific legal framework is what makes the interdisciplinary perspective of law and management on the listed family business so useful.

The book addresses topics such as the status quo of, and gaps in, the management literature about Listed Family Companies; how family companies communicate with the capital market and how capital market participants view family companies; a stewardship perspective on the listed family company; an in-depth look at listed family companies in Turkey; and general and country-specific legal chapters on France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The book concludes with a chapter on future research opportunities that emerged from the discussions at the conference.

The pioneering Law and Management of Family Firms series publishes volumes following the annual Hamburg Conference: Law and Management of Family Firms, the international and interdisciplinary forum for family business research. The conference is organized by the Max Planck Institute and the Institute for Mittelstand and Family Firms (HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration). It brings together two distinct and previously disconnected disciplines of law and management, benefiting scholars, lawyers, consultants, and family office practitioners.
