Taking over the Family Business

A career developmental perspective on male and female succession.

Why do successors decide to join the family business? The current study investigated the hitherto largely ignored perspective of the successor on succession as career decision process. Grounded on family business and career development theory, insights gained from the qualitative analysis of 16 in-depth interviews with successors were used to develop a successor profiling tool. It is composed of three main elements: the succession decision as process, influences of facilitating and inhibiting factors as well as underlying successor commitment over time. 240 Seiten mit zahlreichen Abb., gebunden (Wittener Schriften zu Familienunternehmen; Band 16/V&R unipress 2015) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
