Resumen

Este estudio investiga y evalúa críticamente las estrategias y los esfuerzos que los padres propietarios de empresas familiares llevan a cabo para incentivar y preparar a sus hijos para una futura sucesión exitosa. La muestra consistió en seis empresas familiares en el noreste de Escocia: dos en segunda generación, dos en tercera generación, una en cuarta generación y una todavía en la etapa de fundador. Los hallazgos revelan que el proceso de planificación de la sucesión fue un evento instantáneo en el puente generacional, donde no se inició ningún proceso de planificación formal. Los padres-propietarios influyeron y facilitaron la transferencia de conocimientos y la educación, dejando el control a los hijos sucesores con opciones de carrera. La investigación también muestran las dificultades de cómo los futuros sucesores pueden encontrar la sucesión desafiante y exigente con problemas contextualmente complejos.
