Focusing on the evolution of Germany's largest enterprises from 1958 to 2018, this study explores ownership structures, operational continuity, and solvency trends. It reveals that over half of the companies failed, while family-owned firms demonstrated more stable ownership and higher survival rates compared to public companies. Historical methods provide insights into the industrial landscape and the impact of factors like public listings on family ownership. The book concludes with practical implications drawn from the patterns observed in both successful and failed enterprises.

This second edition serves as a valuable resource for both market and academic research, highlighting key insights into the decline of family-owned enterprises, making it essential for understanding their dynamics and challenges.
