Crafting Time explores how family-owned businesses live and act across multiple temporal horizons—past, present, and future—and how those horizons shape strategy, identity, and everyday organizing. The book’s motivation is to offer a comprehensive, practice-relevant lens on how family firms uniquely experience and manage the tensions of time: honoring historical legacies without becoming captive to them, meeting present operational realities without myopia, and opening credible futures without severing recognizability. Throughout, we show how this dynamic interplay is decisive for long-term sustainability and renewal in enterprising families.

Abstract
Crafting Time explores how family-owned businesses live and act across multiple temporal horizons—past, present, and future—and how those horizons shape strategy, identity, and everyday organizing. The book’s motivation is to offer a comprehensive, practice-relevant lens on how family firms uniquely experience and manage the tensions of time: honoring historical legacies without becoming captive to them, meeting present operational realities without myopia, and opening credible futures without severing recognizability. Throughout, we show how this dynamic interplay is decisive for long-term sustainability and renewal in enterprising families.Pubblicazioni consigliate
