The Wendel Family: "Affectio Societatis" (B) - CGIP: The Family as "Shareholder Entrepreneur" (1977 - 1996) Case Solution
Abstract:
The Wendel and CGIP cases inform the story of a service household, the Wendel, over a duration of almost 3 centuries. The CGIP case (B) reveals how Ernest-Antoine Seillière, was successful in constructing a strong holding business out of the household's non-core organisations, left after the steel nationalisation.
Pedagogical Objectives:
The case is composed for usage in classes on Family Firms with MBA trainees. Its primary goal is to highlight the function of a household in the advancement and perpetuation of an organisation and to recognize the distinctions in between a household company and a publicly-owned company. The CGIP case shows how a household can choose to remain in company together without remaining in the exact same organisation; how the household can support the supervisor's choices; governance structures and procedures; how a household can have a fortunate access to handle other household companies.
This is just an excerpt. This case is about Strategy
