Passing on the fire II –
M&A means advising entrepreneurs and enterprises
Authors: Kuttruff / Kanatschnig et al.

Good M&A requires in-depth knowledge of the industry, protects the future of the company and establishes the transfer from one entrepreneur to the next.
Maintaining the good and future-oriented during change, yet at the same time remaining open for the new is a difficult balancing act. For this reason, the title of the book is inspired by an old proverb:

»Tradition is not preserving the ashes, but passing on the flame.«

It is up to the new entrepreneur to keep the fire, which he bought, burning, to develop initiative, to motivate and to create.

80 insights of an accomplished entrepreneur –
views and suggestions resulting from 40 years of passionate entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurial commitment and passion characterizes this book. Only a few German managers have experienced a comparably long and comprehensive presence as head of an internationally expanding company like Hans Knürr. This is demonstrated in all 80 views. »Business Environments« and »Markets«, »Corporate Finance«, »Globalization«, »Day-to-Day Business« and economic topics: Heading the Knürr AG for 40 years, the author faced almost all possible challenges in any of the above mentioned fields. He does not hold back and speaks a clear language with tact and social skills. In addition to the always dominant perspective of an experienced entrepreneur, the book leaves room to experience strategy and operations from other angles.

A book full of passion and expertise which contains the essential touch of toughness, a quality successful entrepreneurs have to practice these days; maybe more than they want to.
