Abstract

Familienunternehmen zeichnen sich durch eine enge Verbindung von Familie und Unternehmen aus. Den jeweiligen Systemen sind dabei unterschiedliche Werte, Logiken und Kommunikationsstrukturen immanent. Das macht Familienunternehmen für Spannungen und Konflikte in besonderer Weise anfällig. Vorliegender Beitrag zeigt, auf welche Weise Familienunternehmen mit Spannungsfeldern verfahren und diese bearbeiten. Empirische Grundlage sind 21 qualitative Interviews. Deren Auswertung ergibt, dass langlebige Familienunternehmen über probate Mechanismen zur Bewältigung von Spannungsfeldern verfügen, um komplexen Entscheidungssituationen und paradoxen Anforderungen präventiv entgegenzuwirken. Die Ergebnisse weisen überdies aus, dass dabei sowohl ausdrückliche Regeln als auch gelebte Grundsätze sowie Kommunikation und Reflexion eine zentrale Rolle spielen. / Family businesses are characterized by a strong connection of two social systems: the family and the business. However, these two systems have different values, types of logic and communication structures. This creates a fertile breeding ground for conflicts and tension. Twentyone semi-structured in-depth interviews of German family business members provide the empirical background of this work. The analysis shows, that long lasting family businesses develop successful mechanisms to deal with conflicts and tension. They generate rules and conditions in order to cope with the above challenges. In this context, communication and reflection are significant.
