Abstract
Why does a family sell and why does a family member repurchase the business after it has been sold? We explore these questions by analysing the case of Champagne Taittinger which was sold as part of the sale of the family business by the second-generation in 2005, and the repurchase of the business by third generation, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, in 2006. Guided by affective events theory, we use a qualitative approach to identify “turning points” of attachment and conflict and illustrate how an interplay of these affective states at the microfoundations of the Taittinger family influences the macro-level events of the sale and repurchase of Champagne Taittinger. We contribute to understanding how affective events at the microfoundations of family crucially influence business strategy.
