Inheritance: Samsung
BBC World Service
When you’re born into a powerful business dynasty, what comes first: the family or the firm? Inheritance explores the family dynasties behind some of the biggest names in global business. Many brands are controlled by families through the generations. But who gets the top job? And how do they hold onto power?
In this brand-new 10-part series from the BBC World Service, we look behind closed doors- inside the billion-dollar deals and the family power struggles that shape global empires.
