“…In succession, studies of the father-daughter dyad complement knowledge on father-son dyads (Haberman and Danes, 2007;Dumas, 1989Dumas, , 1990Salganicoff, 1990). When daughters enter the business in a succession process, shifts in identities and roles create tensions, but over time the daughters learn to work with their fathers in a collaborative way (Dumas, 1992).…”

PurposeWritings in the media have the potential to influence our standpoint and, thereby, our actions. In this paper, the authors analyze how women in family business are represented in media to understand the frames set by this discourse in terms of women owning and leading family businesses. The aim of the paper is to explore how the counterposed roles of business person and mother are presented in media and what implications this might have for role enactment.Design/methodology/approachThe paper opted for an exploratory study of 308 articles about women in family business over a 15‐year period. In the interpretative, qualitative analysis of media texts, the discursive construction of the mother role and the business role are explored.FindingsThe paper provides empirical insights into how the mother role is taken for granted while the business role is approached as problematic in portrayals of women in family business. The authors discuss whether the media discourse reinforces traditional roles or stimulates role innovation.Practical implicationsUnderstanding role as something separate from the individual provides a means to critically review expectations of women in business and how these expectations hinder business activities.Originality/valueThe study examines data over a 15‐year period in the Swedish media setting and describes changes in attitudes about women's roles in family business. Regarding the family business as an arena for performative acts provides a perspective that can highlight the intertwinement of the private and professional arenas in family business.

“…Outros autores (HABERMAN;DANES, 2007;HANDLER, 1994) apontam o estudo do gênero em empresas familiares como uma vertente de pesquisa que também precisaria ser mais aprofundada, visando ajudar mais empresas a sobreviverem à passagem para a próxima geração com um menor número de conflitos. Tal estudo englobaria diversas questões como a dinâmica do gênero entre o fundador e a herdeira e o impacto do gênero nos estágios do processo sucessório.…”

ResumoEste artigo uniu dois temas de importância significativa -sucessão familiar e gênero -para a economia brasileira em uma única pesquisa, visando trazer uma contribuição tanto prática quanto acadêmica. Por um lado, esperamos que o maior entendimento por parte das mulheres herdeiras das suas especificidades no processo de sucessão venha a ajudá-las a vivenciá-lo com um menor número de conflitos. Por outro, esperamos contribuir para o enriquecimento da literatura brasileira sobre questões de gênero na sucessão dessas empresas familiares, tema ainda muito pouco explorado em nível mundial e que vem sendo apontado por teóricos como uma linha de pesquisa que precisa ser mais aprofundada, à medida que casos de sucessão feminina se tornam mais comuns. O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar no ambiente brasileiro como ocorria a preparação para a tomada de poder por essas mulheres, como elas sentiam a criação de sua identidade como potenciais sucessoras e como percebiam as principais questões abordadas pela literatura mundial sobre o tema. Por meio de dados qualitativos, obtidos em entrevistas em profundidade com sete herdeiras de empresas de setores diversos, localizadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, foi possível levantar importantes questões ligadas ao estágio inicial da sucessão pela mulher nos negócios familiares. Resultados indicaram a falta de um planejamento antecipado de ingresso na empresa, dificuldade e demora na criação de identidade, angústia pela ausência de perfil empreendedor, perda nas redes sociais de contato, excesso de proteção pelo pai e saudável equilíbrio vida/trabalho. Palavras-chave: empresas familiares; processo sucessório; questões de gênero. AbstractThis article combined important subjects for the Brazilian economy seeking to make a practical and theoretical contribution. We hope the better understanding of the succession process by women can help them and their families to prepare for some predictable problems. We also hope to contribute for the enrichment of the Brazilian literature on gender issues in family business as this subject still requires further research, and succession by women becomes a common phenomenon. . The objective of this study was to identify how Brazilian women prepared themselves to take over their family's firm, how they perceived their identity as potential successors, and how they perceived the whole process of succession. Data were collected via in-depth interviews with seven female successors of diverse industries located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Results indicate the lack of preparation to join the company, difficulties in creating an identity, an anxiety for not demonstrating entrepreneur skills, a closure of social connections and excessive protection from fathers. On the positive side, results also indicate that a healthy work-life balance can be achieved during the process.

“…They argue that qualitative approaches can be used as tool to have deeper understanding of the problem in family business because the human dynamics involved in family business could be adequately studied only with qualitative methodologies (Haberman & Danes, 2007). Therefore, qualitative method of research is the most appropriate method for our study and that has been used because the present study aims to explore the role of the predecessors at family firms in the succession process and to analyze the reasons of success or failure in passing the business to the following generations.…”

Master Thesis within Business AdministrationIntroduction: Succession process is the family firms is a complex phenomenon. One of the major factors which affect this succession process is the predecessor related individual factors. These factors act as enablers or otherwise for the successful succession process. Different succession planning models present a pathway for the successful succession of the family business. However these models are based on not only individual factors but take into consideration many other factors surrounding the organization. There is little research available only studying the individual factors in relation to the succession planning models. Purpose:The issue under investigation during this research will be that how central is the role of predecessor at the individual level to the succession process. Also this thesis will analyze why family firms succeed or fail in passing the business to following generations on the basis of different succession planning models in relation to the individual level factors. Method:A qualitative approach was used to fulfill the purpose of this thesis. Interviews with seven individuals were made to gather information regarding the role of predecessor during succession and succession planning process. All the interviews were conducted via telephone. Conclusion:Individual level factors related to the successor have a central role to play in the succession process of the business. When these factors are viewed in relation to succession planning models, the study shows that these factors have a direct relation to these models in terms of success or failure of the succession process. The major contributing factor to the success or failure of the succession process is that of the leadership provided to the organization by the predecessor. These leadership qualities change from one form to another during different phases of the succession planning models.
