Abstract

Trotz der steigenden Bedeutung von familienexternen Nachfolgeregelungen wie MBO und MBI bestehen hinsichtlich dieser Nachfolgeoptionen noch große Forschungslücken. Obwohl die Informationsökonomie einen viel versprechenden Ansatz darstellt, um ein fundierteres Verständnis zu erlangen, ist sie in diesem Kontext noch zu wenig angewandt worden. Dies wäre jedoch vor allem in Bezug auf einen MBI sinnvoll, da dort die deutlichsten Informationsasymmetrien zwischen Übergeber und Nachfolger auftreten können. In diesem Beitrag bedienen wir uns daher der Informationsökonomie und analysieren die verschiedenen Informationsasymmetrien bei einem MBI im Detail. Außerdem zeigen wir verschiedene Möglichkeiten auf, wie die entsprechenden Asymmetrien überwunden werden können. Damit leisten wir einen wertvollen Beitrag zu Wissenschaft und Praxis. / Despite the increasing relevance of family-external succession in the form of a MBO or MBI, considerable research gaps with regard to these succession options exist. Even though information economics offers a promising perspective to extend our corresponding knowledge, it has not been sufficiently applied in that context. Using information economics would be especially appropriate with regard to an MBI, as the most explicit information asymmetries between incumbent and successor occur there. Thus, we draw on information economics in our article and analyze the different information asymmetries in the context of an MBI in detail. Going one step further, we discuss several possibilities to overcome these asymmetries. This leads to valuable contributions to both research and practice.
