People and Relationship Issues in Management (PRIMa)

• Objectives and Description


This investigation was carried out in Germany as part of an international survey encompassing a total of 20 European countries, Japan, the USA and some countries of South East Asia. Its main aim was to gather together attitudes and values prevailing in family businesses as regards everyday topics dealing with “The Family and the Company” and then to compare the findings at an international level. It was intended that the results could provide companies, founders, consultants and scientists with information on how to avoid conflict situations.

The international co-ordination of the project was carried out by “The Management School, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine“, London (GB). Participants included the Vlerick Management School (Belgium), Babson College (USA), the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (NL), Tama University (Japan), Copenhagen Business School (Denmark) and the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland). The sponsor was Grant Thornton.
