Full textFamily businesses struggle to be sustainable over multiple generations. In fact, most family businesses do not survive past the second generation. With this study the goal of the researcher was to provide family businesses with a conceptual model which could assist them to become multi-generational financially sustainable. This goal was achieved by answering the main research question, namely: What are the critical elements that a family business should consider continuously in order to ensure multi-generational financial sustainability? Those critical elements that a family business should consider were firstly explored through a literature review process. From this literature review a preliminary conceptual model was developed. Secondly, seven family business experts, with a total of 176 years of family business experience among them, were selected in order to gain their perspectives on the critical elements that family businesses should consider to be sustainable over multiple generations. They were also requested to evaluate the preliminary conceptual model and were invited to make suggestions for the improvement thereof. This exercise provided the researcher with ample information in order to create a valid final conceptual model, which in this study is referred to as: The Family Business Success Map. During the final part of this research study, the Family Business Success Map was applied to an existing multi-generational family business in order to evaluate the processes which it followed during two situations of succession, and some recommendations were made. This study can contribute towards the field of family business management through the development of a conceptual model, the Family Business Success Map. This can be used by owners and advisors to help family businesses to implement those critical practices that successful multi-generational family businesses have followed. The study found that family businesses needed to become more structured and professional. It further found that there were five critical practices which successful family businesses followed in order to be sustainable over the long term. Those five critical practices were conceptualised in the Family Business Success Map. The basis for all five practices is good governance, transparent communication and an entrepreneurial orientation. The challenge for family businesses is to grow their businesses faster than their families. In order to accomplish this, family businesses need to invest continuously in the entrepreneurial development of their management. This study found that the first practice which successful family businesses followed was that they formally planned for succession. This plan should clearly state what the ground rules of succession are and should be revisited and adjusted continuously. The plan should provide for both ownership and management succession. The second practice which successful family businesses followed was that they were governed by Advisory Boards. These boards should meet regularly and should preferably include some independent members. Continuous development of board members is important. This forms part of the critical element: the practice of leadership. Furthermore, it was found that the third practice which successful family businesses followed was that they had a formal strategic plan in place. They also recommended that the trusted advisors of the family businesses should be involved in the process of formulating the strategic plan. Family harmony, the fourth critical practice, could be accomplished through transparent and comprehensive communication from the businesses to the families. Through the establishment of formal family meetings, family matters that were not business-related, could be dealt with. The last of the five critical practices which successful family businesses followed was the use of cost accounting management practices, not only in their normal business decisions, but in strategic decision-making as well.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Family businesses are increasing in the western societies. They will continue to play an important role in most economies. There is a growing interest among young people to get involved in family businesses. It is therefore important that issues and factors influencing the behaviour of family businesses be highlighted and understood by those interested in family businesses. This study investigates the dynamics in family businesses and concludes on the issues of remuneration, conflict and succession. The family business is a composition of two complex systems, family and business, with at its lead an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are the "green barets" of our economy, they are the people with guts, who survive on a mixture of unwarranted confidence and blind hope. This study focused on the issues of remuneration, conflict and succession as described in literature. Founders/managers should be sensitive to these issues and the management thereof. The emotions involved in family businesses make them unique compared to other businesses. Businesses that fail to address these issues will experience more problems than businesses which proactively deal with the issues. The results of this research indicate that family business globally experience similar dynamics. It is suggested that founders/managers make an effort to uncover the issues threatening the health of their business and address them.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Familie ondememings is aan die toeneem in die westerse gemeenskappe. Dit het in die verlede en sal soveel te meer in die toekoms 'n belangrike rol vertolk in meeste ekonomië. Daar is 'n toenemende belangstelling onder jong entrepreneurs in familie besighede. Dit is dus belangrik dat die realiteite en faktore wat in familie besighede teenwoordig is, onder entrepreneurs se aandag gebring word sodat hulle nie oningelig is nie. Hierdie studie het juis ten doel om die sake rakende konflik, vergoeding en opvolging na te vors. Familie besighede is die samevoeging van twee komplekse sisteme naamlik familie en besigheid, met 'n entrepeneur aan die stuur van hierdie kombinasie. Entrepreneurs word beskou as die baanbrekers van die ekonomie, hulle beskik oor deursettingsvermoë, geloof en hoop. Hierdie tesis beskou vergoeding, konflik en opvolging vanuit 'n literatuur oogpunt. Dit is van kardinale belang dat stigters/bestuurders van familie besighede sensitief is vir hierdie aspekte en dit bestuur. Die uniekheid van familie besighede stem van die emosies daarbinne af. Besighede wat versuim om aandag aan hierdie dinamika binne familie besighede te gee, kan meer algemene probleme verwag as die besighede wat wel proaktief optree. Hierdie studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat familie besighede oor die wêreld heen soortgelyke probleme ervaar. Daar word voorgestel dat eienaars/stigters/bestuurders daadwerklik aandag gee aan die faktore en realiteite wat die gesondheid van familie besighede bedreig.

Full textAFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die navorsingsverslag het ons geleer dat dit belangrik is om kennis te dra van menslike gedrag. As ‘n mens ‘n goeie idee het hoe mense funksioneer en dinge doen, sal dit makliker wees om saam te werk en om mekaar beter te verstaan. Die skrywer het in hoofstuk twee gevind dat konflik ‘n positiewe invloed kan hê op die transformasie van ‘n seun/dogter in ‘n familiebesigheid. In Hoofstuk 2 word die belangrikheid van kommunikasie in enige besigheid, en veral in ‘n familiebesigheid, beklemtoon. Die skrywer het gevind dat daar nie ‘n groot verskil tussen De Villiers (1985) se studie en dié studie is nie. Hier is ‘n paar verskille wat in Hoofstuk 5 uitgelig is. Seuns en vaders weet nie regtig wat die seun se rol in die familiebesigheid is nie. Hierdie probleem kan direk toegeskryf word aan swak kommunikasie. In Hoofstuk 2 kan ons lees hoe belangrik kommunikasie is. Daar is geen strategie hoe die vader die besigheid gaan verlaat nie. Dit is belangrik om so ‘n verlatingsstrategie op papier vas te lê. Die rede vir so ‘n strategie is om ‘n doel te hê om na te streef en om daarna te werk. Dit kan as ‘n plan gesien word om vas te stel wanneer die vader kan aftree en die seun kan begin planne maak vir sy toekoms. Seuns en vaders het verskillende opinies. Marshack (2003) verwys in Hoofstuk 2 dat die jonger generasie deur konflik ‘n merk in die besigheid kan maak, maar dit hang af of hulle met ‘n doeltreffende oplossing vorendag kan kom vir die konflik of die probleem. In Hoofstuk 2 kan meer oor konflik gelees word. Die skrywer van hierdie navorsingsprojek hoop dat die lesers meer duidelikheid sal hê oor die onderwerp en die implikasies in bestuur en mensevehoudings as ‘n seun/dogter die familiebesigheid betree.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this research report we learned how important it is to have an understanding of human behaviour. If one has a good understanding on how people function and operate, it is easier to work with other people and it is easier to understand one another. The writer learned that there is not a big difference between the results of the study done by De Villiers (1985) and this study. There are a few differences that can be found in Chapter 5. Sons and fathers are often confused on what role the son plays in the family business. This problem is usually a direct consequence of bad communication. In Chapter 2 we can read how important good communication is. There is often no exit strategy for the father in the family business. It is important to have an exit strategy on paper. The reason for an exit strategy is to have a goal to work towards. This is just a plan to see when it will be possible for the father to retire, and for the son to make plans for his future. Sons and fathers usually have different opinions. Marshack (2003) says in Chapter 2 that through conflict the younger generation can make a mark in the business if they come up with a proper and different solution. In Chapter 2 you can read more about resolving conflict. The writer hopes that you will have more answers on the implications in management and human relations when a son/daughter enters a family business after studying this research project.

Full textFamily-owned businesses have long played a significant role in the economies of the developed countries and are rapidly becoming an equally dominant force in those of developing countries. Family businesses are also recognised as a potential driver of economic growth and the creation of wealth throughout the world. The significant contribution which family businesses have been making to the South African economy over the last 300 years is made evident by the fact that approximately 80% of businesses in South Africa could be classified as family businesses and the equally compelling fact that they comprised of the order of 60% of the companies which were listed on the (JSE) Johannesburg Stock Exchange during its infancy. The main objective of the study was to determine the drivers of planning for succession in family-owned businesses in the township of Gugulethu in Cape Town in South Africa. The study also undertook to investigate the challenges which family-owned businesses encounter as they endeavour to transfer ownership and control from one generation to the next. The fact that although family-owned businesses contribute significantly to the economy, very often they do not survive a generational transition provides ample justification for undertaking to determine the factors which contribute to successful successions. This research study took the form of a real-time, longitudinal study in which the researcher could experience how the succession process unfolds in the family-owned businesses of the respondents and participants who made up the research sample. The study made use of a mixed methods approach to collect and analyse the data. In the quantitative study, questionnaires were administered to 120 owners and managers of family-owned businesses, while the qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with owners and managers. The quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, while the data which were obtained from the face-to-face interviews were analysed by means of thematic analysis.

The change of command is a challenge for family businesses looking for of the business longterm survival. The succession process is a period of coexistence between predecessors and successors for knowledge sharing between generations to ensure that, the valuable knowledge about the business remains in the organization, therefore that the change of command does not affect the performance and efficiency of company. Given the importance of knowledge in the succession process of family businesses, we highlight knowledge exploration and exploitation activities, carried out individually, but also in the sharing of knowledge between predecessors and successors. Knowledge strategies can be perceived through the exploitation activities - relates to new uses and combinations of existing knowledge to achieve short-term goals, or by means of exploration activities - the search for new knowledge, unknown and often uncertain. Therefore, knowledge exploration ans exploitation activities may be related to individual characteristics and with the relationship with other family members in the routine of the organization. Thus, it allows considering the motivations and involvement of the individual with the family business may have an impact on how such activities are carried out in the organization. In this regard, previous studies indicate that the commitment bases of the members involved in the succession process, thus defining the commitment as a critical aspect of succession. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between the commitment and the activities of exploration and exploitation of knowledge of the individuals involved in the process of succession of family businesses. To reach the aim, was carried out a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential strategy, and initially collected to be analyzed quantitative data. From the quantitative findings we preceded to the second phase of research, with a qualitative approach that aimed to in depth the results of the quantitative research. The survey was conducted in FCDL-RS considering family businesses of Rio Grande do Sul – Southern Brazil, involved in succession processes. The final results considered 303 respondents participated in the quantitative step and 10 interviewers in the qualitative step. The main contribution of the study is the knowledge exploration and exploitation activities in the individual and the sharing between predecessors and successors, and beyond the commitment relating to these members. The results indicated that, in regard to the individual dimension of analysis, the respondents perform ambidextrous way, both activities. However, in the knowledge sharing dimension, ambidexterity was not identified. Relating the knowledge exploration and exploitation activities in the individual and sharing level with the commitment, the results identified positive and negative relationships. A positive relationship was perceived between affective commitment regarding to the loyalty dimension and exploitation activities for knowledge sharing and combination. On the other hand, negative relationships between the commitment of continuity and affective - regarding the desire to stay in business - and exploration activities on the share to the creation of new knowledge. The result of research indicates that, when discussing the activities of exploration, exploitation and ambidexterity knowledge of the level of analysis and the search context can influence the results of the study

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Why can some family businesses survive over several generations when others cannot even be successfully carried over to the second generation? Can it be connected to the creation and definition of wealth? To create wealth for future generations implies much more than just establishing a financially healthy family business. This report examines all the other elements that are crucial to creating wealth and prosperity. In his research Mr Jaffe found that the creation of wealth and prosperity consists out of six dimensions. These dimensions are spiritual capital, financial capital, human capital, family capital, structural capital and societal capital. All of these dimensions are examined and tested in this report and members of family businesses in the Western Cape were asked for personal contributions by completing a questionnaire. From the research it is clear that some of these farmers do not have the correct and necessary structures in place to make it possible for their family businesses to survive to the next generations. Some of these dimensions are being addressed while the farmers have no idea of how important they are to the survival of their family business. Communication is one of the most compelling requirements for success and members of family businesses will have to realise how important effective and healthy communication is. Family members have to be able to communicate their expectations of each other and have to know each other's positive and negative characteristics. This will help ensure that family members are applied in areas they are strong in. To reach its full potential a family business must utilise its members to the fullest. By following these guidelines lasting wealth and prosperity can be created.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoekom kan sommige familiebesighede vir gesla9te lank corleet en ander nie eers suksesvol oorgedra word na die tweede ge51a9 nie? Het dit moontlik iets te doen met die skepping en definisie van rykdom? Om rykdom te skep vir toekomstige geslagte behels baie meer as net die daarstelling van 'n finansieel gesonde familiebesigheid. Hierdie tesis ondersoek die ander elemente wat oak van kardinale belang is in die skepping van welvaart. Mnr Jaffe het uit sy navorsing bevind dat die skepping van welvaart ses dimensies behels. Die dimensies is geestelike-kapitaal, finansiele-kapitaal, menslike-kapitaal, familie-kapitaal, strukturele-kapitaal en gemeenskapskapitaal. In hierdie tesis word hierdie dimensies getoet5 en ontleed. Daar is aan lede van landbou-familiebesighede in die Wes-Kaap gevra om hul persoonlike ervaringe te deel deur middel van 'n vraelys. Uit die navorsing is dit duidelik dat sommige van die boere nie al die regte strukture in plek het wat dit moontlik sal maak vir hul familiebesighede om die volgende paar geslagte te aorleet nie. Party van die dimensies word weer aangespreek sonder dat die boere besef hoe belangrik dit regtig vir die toekoms van hul familiebesigheid is. Lede van familiebesighede sal moet besef dat goeie, gesonde kommunikasie baie belangrik vir sukses is. Die familielede moet vir mekaar kan se wat hul verwagtinge van mekaar is en moet ook weet wat die goeie en slegte punte van die ander lede van die familie is. Oit sal daartoe bydra dat familielede aangewend kan word in die areas waarin hulle sterk is. Om die volle potensiaal van 'n familiebesigheid te bereik moet al die familielede optimaal benut word. So kan blywende rykdom geskep word vir toekomstige geslagte.

Full textThe literature shows that most of these entities are run by their founders or by a small management team and very few such operators have proper succession planning in place. The lack of proper succession planning can have the direct effect of causing the collapse of these businesses especially when key players leave the business upon retirement or in pursuit of other options. The loss of knowledge and experience, and the consequences thereof for business is well-documented. The exit or exodus of key stakeholders can make a business vulnerable and diminish its worth as investors will not invest in a business that is unsustainable. Succession planning was identified as one of the most pressing issues for small, micro and medium enterprises in the corporate governance sphere.
