abstract = {Historical narratives are considered to play a role of consolidation within family firms over time. They instill a common vision of family business history made of values, myths and stories which forge a distinctive culture. Yet family businesses do not always manage to remain in the bosom of the family. What happens to historical family business narratives when the intra-family succession fails? Are they still relevant? If so, for whom? And in what ways? The use of narratives in the firm after the takeover by non-family purchasers remains a relatively untouched topic. It deserves investigation since selling out as an alternative to intra-family succession can be a viable option.
Through the qualitative case study of a French business school which used to be a family firm for two generations during the XIXe century – the Higher School of Commerce of Paris presently named ESCP Europe – this study demonstrates that family business can become, through the writing of its history, an arena for emotional confrontation. Indeed, while witnesses of the family era used the history of the former family business to preserve its alma mater, its new purchasers used it to demonstrate that, unlike their predecessors, they succeeded in increasing the organisation’s prosperity at a level that had never been achieved before. Historical family business narratives can therefore serve both as indicators of the emotional tensions that run through the firm and as strategic levers for shaping the future of the firm.
