This book is about Greek ship owning family firms. It provides an interesting insight into the way which they followed and which turned them into leaders in world shipping. The Greek-owned shipping, that is, ship owned and/or operated by Greeks, increased from about one percent of the world fleet in 1947 to seventeen percent of the world fleet at the very beginning of the XXI century.
The authors of the volume have performed the examination of the basic factors that have eventually resulted in the Greek entrepreneurship in the family businesses; they have also presented the evidence for the family companies owned by Greeks looking at their management and organization principles as well as their strategies.
