How a Company’s Ownership Model Shapes the Mistakes It Makes
By: Josh Baron
Abstract
Why do some companies continue to thrive for decades and others die after an initial run of success? Like many kinds of accidents, company failure is generally the consequence of cascading effects that combine to overwhelm a previously effective strategy. But the errors that lead to corporate death spirals often can be traced back to a common factor that receives insufficient attention: their ownership model. This article explores how ownership influences company success or failure across five main dimensions.
