20.500.12556/DiRROS-21139 The intergenerational succession of leadership in the family business the change succession brings This study focuses on leadership succession in family businesses, specifically examining the first-generation succession in six Slovenian manufacturing family enterprises. The authors introduce a novel perspective to studying this process by not limiting the analysis to the incumbent (IC) - successor (SR) dyad, but also integrating the family members’ view in the research design. By employing a qualitative approach (i.e. a comparative case study that predominantly relies on interviews with all three studied groups) the authors collect rich data on attitudes, perceptions and expectations about succession in family businesses. The research highlights the crucial role of leadership succession in ensuring the longevity and sustainability of family businesses, as effective leadership transitions are vital for maintaining business continuity, preserving family values, and fostering the intergenerational transfer of both knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit. While ICs typically possess a range of attitudes towards succession— from proactive to reluctant—SRs generally approach the process with optimism and caution, driven by their personal needs and expectations. The attitudes of both ICs and SRs are influenced by contextual factors and psychosocial dynamics, which significantly affect the succession's initiation, leadership, and relational dynamics within the family. family business leadership succession succession process true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2025-01-07 08:53:07 2025-01-07 08:53:07 2025-08-27 12:28:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 7. 1. 2025; str. 802-823 no. 4 Vol. 13 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-12-24 2024-10-02 2024-12-25 334.722.24:347.65 2345-6744 10.33844/ijol.2024.60444 221102595 25_01_07_101_Biloslavo_221102595.pdf 25_01_07_101_Biloslavo_221102595.pdf 1 E7FA7D7EF877A9DDAE7D8DE9BD6599B5 f6627d5eaff481cef30506be81f5967dcc223562b10de85baffda3ed26e150d2 d80a0cf8-cccc-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29977 https://ijol.cikd.ca/article_60778.html 1 70b7df73-cccc-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29976 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
