Problem And Succession Planning in a family businnes and the impact on family relationships

Družinska podjetja imajo izjemno velik pomen v gospodarstvu in prispevajo zelo pomemben del k nacionalnemu gospodarstvu, saj zaposlujejo veliko število ljudi in prispevajo k uspešnosti našega gospodarstva. Predstavljajo pomemben del v strukturi vseh podjetij, po mnogih raziskavah pa celo prevladujejo. Družinska podjetja so lahko vseh velikosti, vendar po ocenah kar nekaj raziskovalcev prevladujejo mala in srednje velika podjetja. Za ti dve vrsti podjetij lahko rečemo, da so prevladujoča oblika podjetij v svetu. V diplomskem projektu smo v prvih poglavjih na podlagi teorije opisali in predstavili družinsko podjetništvo, njegove značilnosti, prednosti ter slabosti. Osredotočili smo se predvsem na nasledstvo v družinskem podjetništvu, planiranje in probleme nasledstva, ki v današnjem času predstavljajo veliko težavo večini družinskih podjetij z dolgoletno tradicijo. Prav nasledstvo oz. prenos podjetja v naslednjo generacijo prinaša problem. Takšne vrste podjetij imajo veliko vprašanj in malo izkušenj, saj večina družinskih podjetij še vedno vodijo ustanovitelji. V diplomskem projektu smo opisali tudi družinske odnose ter konflikte, ki najpogosteje nastanejo v fazi prenosa lastništva, opredelili smo družinske odnose na splošno ter opisali, kako prenos lastništva na naslednjo generacijo vpliva na družinske odnose znotraj podjetja. V teoretičnem delu smo torej opisali izhodišča, ki smo jih v praktičnem delu primerjali s konkretnim podjetjem, ki je v bližnji preteklosti šlo skozi fazo prenosa lastništva na drugo generacijo. Za praktičen primer smo si izbrali podjetje, ki je šlo skozi proces nasledstva in tako smo lahko na primeru takega podjetja dobili podatke iz prve roke ter dejstva, ki so opredeljena v teoriji, tudi primerjali in odgovorili na postavljene hipoteze.Family businesses are of great importance in our economy and contribute substantially to national economy as they employ a large number of people and contribute to efficiency of our economy. They represent an important part in the system of companies and numerous researches even show their predominance. There are family businesses in all sizes. However, according to some researchers, the majority of them is small or medium-sized. Therefore, it is safe to say that family businesses represent a predominant type of businesses in the world. In the first few chapters of the diploma thesis, family business is theoretically defined, and its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are described. The main focus is on inheritance in family business, its planning and the potential difficulties concerning inheritance, which nowadays presents a serious problem in numerous family businesses with a long tradition. The inheritance itself or the transfer of ownership to the next generation causes the most problems. As the majority of family businesses are still run by their founders, there are lots of questions and little experience in this field. The diploma thesis also deals with family relations and conflicts connected with the transfer of ownership, the definition of family relations in general, and the influence of the transfer of ownership to family relations within the company. In the practical part of the diploma thesis, I compared the hypotheses described in the theoretical part with the actual company which dealt with the transfer of ownership to the next generation in the recent past. The mentioned company was chosen due to the availability of first-hand information and facts in order to confirm the theoretical hypotheses made in the first part
