Full textAbstract:
How does leadership succession influence the dynamics of electoral competition in authoritarian regimes? Previous studies suggest that leadership successions tend to result in more competitive elections, creating favorable conditions for political changes. The literature, however, has not examined how the electoral impact of succession depends on specific mechanisms of succession management. We argue that the outgoing leader’s clear designation of a successor plays an important role in neutralizing the electoral impact of succession. Clear designation, defined as the appointment of a “second-in-command,” prevents unbridled power struggle among ruling elites and grooms the successor for the leadership role. We support this argument by analyzing an original dataset covering over 400 elections in 60 authoritarian regimes. This article adds to the burgeoning literature regarding the effects of elections and institution-building on authoritarian resilience.

Full textAbstract:
This study estimates the value of farmers stated succession plans in predicting revealed succession decisions. The stated succession plan exists when a farmer answers in a survey questionnaire that the farm is going to be transferred to a new entrant within a five year period. The succession is revealed when the farm is transferred to a successor. The stated and revealed behaviour is estimated as a recursive Binomial-Probit- Model, which accounts for censoring of the decision variables and controls for a potential correlation between the estimating equations. The results suggest that the succession plans, as stated by elderly farmers in the questionnaires, do not provide information that is significant and valuable in predicting the true, revealed successions, once certain farm and farmer characteristics are controlled for.;

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to use empirical data on new principals to clarify the connection between different succession situations and the challenges their successor principals face. Design/methodology/approach – The study draws on two waves of interview data from a random sample of 16 new elementary school principals in a major urban school district in the USA. Findings – New principals face distinct practice challenges depending on the nature of their successions. The less planned the succession, the less information and knowledge the new principal tends to possess. The more discontinuous the new administration’s trajectory is with the previous administration, the greater the staff resistance that the successor principal tends to face. Research limitations/implications – Few studies systematically examine how succession situations differ in schools that are in need of transformation vs those in need of stability. This study addresses this gap by illuminating the varied processes of succession and highlighting specific mechanisms that link these processes to different organizational trajectories. Practical implications – For district officials, this study suggests that principals in unplanned successions need greater support in quickly gathering information about their new schools while principals in discontinuous successions need greater expertise in how to balance trust-building and accountability in their attempts to promote transformational change. Originality/value – This study’s primary value is its detailed articulation of how certain characteristics of succession situations are associated with specific types of challenges. Only studies at this level of specificity can be effective guides to practitioners and policymakers who are charged with preparing, selecting, and supporting new principals and their schools.

Full textAbstract:
Among the founders of family firms, succession is the greatest challenge to long-term success. According to The Family Firm Institute (n.d.), only about 30% of family businesses survive into the second generation, 12% are still viable into the third generation, and only about 3% of all family businesses operate into the fourth generation or beyond. In contrast to Western countries, the sustainable development of family-owned enterprises within Chinese society must rely on the operation of enterprises. Succession, being inevitable, can reduce the value of a company. This study sought to identify the appropriate succession plan to maintain business value and family’s wealth. The main purpose of this study is to discuss the relationship between a family’s succession, the successor, and firm performance. The sample is comprised of listed firms in Taiwan with necessary data from the Taiwan Economic Journal Database (TEJ). The period extends from 1996 till 2016. Securities, financial firms, and other elements of incomplete information are excluded from the sample. The research sample including 1,286 firms and 13,849 firm-year data, 2,918 of which indicate succession issues. This study employed regression model and investigated the relationships between family succession, the successor, and corporate performance. The main findings indicate that succession negatively influences corporate performance. However, an internal successor is better than an external one, and children successors are better than other relatives.

Full textAbstract:
This study was set to provide a response to the following question: What is the relationship between the gender of CEO successor and firm performance? We analyzed data from 4,338 CEO successions in companies listed in China Stock Exchanges from 2001 to 2016. We utilized Propensity Score Estimation for multiple treatments to operationalize different gender combinations in CEO succession (male-to-male, male-to-female, female-to-male, female-to-female). Findings suggested that it is CEO succession with different gender instead of a female successor that hurts firm performance. We also found that the power of female successors serves as a moderator: it can mitigate the negative impact of different-gender CEO succession on firm performance. The results also indicated that firm ownership (state-owned vs. non-state owned) influences the relationship between female-male CEO succession and firm performance. Practical implications: The findings imply that the gender of the CEO per se may not be the prime factor in firm performance, instead what firms should pay attention at is to smoothen the succession processes when a CEO of different gender is appointed.

Full textAbstract:
Successional processes in abandoned pastures in the Amazon region have been well-documented for the floristic component; however, soil succession has been poorly studied. This study assessed the physical, chemical and biological responses of soils in the Amazon region during the natural succession process in two main landscapes of the Colombian Amazon. Soil data on soil physico–chemical (bulk density, macroaggregates, pH and minerals) and biological (soil macrofauna) composition were evaluated along chronosequence with four successional stages: (i) degraded pastures, (ii) young (10–20-year-old), (iii) middle-age (25–40-year-old) and (iv) mature forests, in two different landscapes (hill and mountain). Individual soil variables and a synthetic indicator of soil quality (GISQ) were evaluated as tools for natural succession monitoring. The results corroborated the negative impact that cattle ranching has on Amazon soils. After 10 years of natural succession, the physico–chemical and biological soil components were widely restored. Less soil compaction and organic carbon occurred in older successional stages. Soil macrofauna richness and density increased along the chronosequence, with an evident association between the macrofauna composition and the macroaggregates in the soil. None of the individual soil properties or the GISQ indicator discriminated among natural succession stages; therefore, new soil quality indicators should be developed to monitor soil quality restoration in natural successions.

Full textAbstract:
A chaebol is a Korean business group with a unique organizational structure in which both ownership and control rights held by a family. As their production accounts for nearly fifty percent of Korea’s GDP and their power in the labor market, it is important to analyze the succession of chaebols, which is closely related to the sustainability of the business. This paper analyzes the six Korean chaebols’ successions to increase our understanding of the processes and outcomes of the family succession. Specifically, we employ the three-circle model, i.e., the ownership, family, and business system, to conduct a comparative case study. Our analysis suggests that succession that involves a large size of succession concentrated to only one successor and restructuring of business portfolio experiences higher post- performance. Also, the level of conflicts in the succession process was not found to have an effect on performance. Overall, our findings imply that the succession is a period available to the company to set a right course of actions for improving competitiveness.

Esse artigo aborda os principais aspectos do direito sucessório no Brasil, destacando a origem da palavra "sucessão" e sua aplicação no contexto jurídico. O autor diferencia a sucessão em sentido amplo da sucessão em sentido estrito, com foco na transmissão patrimonial decorrente da morte do titular. São discutidos os debates em torno da rigidez da sucessão legítima, a restrição da liberdade de testar e as mudanças introduzidas pelo Código Civil de 2002. Também são abordadas as questões relacionadas às transformações familiares, a equiparação dos regimes sucessórios pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal e a necessidade de revisão do fenômeno sucessório para adequá-lo aos valores constitucionais. O problema de pesquisa se norteou com a questão que se voltou em saber como a legislação brasileira aborda e concilia os direitos sucessórios decorrentes de questões como a filiação socioafetiva, a reprodução assistida post mortem, a concepção post mortem, o direito fundamental de testar e a afetividade nas relações familiares, considerando os princípios de autonomia do testador, proteção dos herdeiros legítimos e interpretação dos testamentos? O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar como a legislação brasileira lida com os desafios e dilemas decorrentes da sucessão testamentária em situações envolvendo filiação socioafetiva, reprodução assistida post mortem, concepção post mortem, direito fundamental de testar e afetividade nas relações familiares, considerando os princípios de autonomia do testador, proteção dos herdeiros legítimos e interpretação dos testamentos. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão de literatura, com a captação de materiais publicados nos últimos 10 anos, disponíveis de portais tais como: Google Acadêmico, Rev Secr Trib Perm Revis, Revista de Ciências Jurídicas, etc. Em conclusão, a legislação brasileira aborda uma variedade de questões relacionadas aos direitos sucessórios, como a filiação socioafetiva, a reprodução assistida post mortem, a concepção post mortem, o direito fundamental de testar e a afetividade nas relações familiares. Cada uma dessas questões apresenta desafios específicos em relação aos princípios jurídicos e éticos que regem o direito sucessório.

Full textAbstract:
Because the establishment of private enterprises has been allowed by the Chinese government since the 1980s, management successions have occurred in a large number of Chinese family firms in recent years. Grounded in upper echelons theory and considering the generational differences between founders and successors, it is expected that the initiation of a within-family succession will lead to significant changes in firms’ CSR strategies. Applying the difference-in-difference method, the results suggest that family firms having initiated successions have better CSR performance relative to those that have not initiated successions and succession firms prior to the initiation of successions. The paper further finds that not all post-succession family firms demonstrate homogeneity in terms of CSR. The impact of succession on firms’ CSR is more pronounced for succession family firms with debt financing plans and politically connected successors. This paper contributes to the manager-effect literature, family firm CSR research and management succession studies, and it is also useful to policy makers of Chinese government.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the effect of outside chief executive officer (CEO) succession on firm innovation in Chinese companies and to explore the mechanism behind the process. By analyzing the motivation of CEO successors of different origins in the context of selection, this paper identifies the factors affecting outside CEO successors’ decision-making on post-succession firm innovation. Design/methodology/approach A Poisson regression model is used on a sample of 1,084 firm-year observations taken from Chinese listed companies that endured CEO succession during the period of 2009–2016. Fixed-effect Poisson regression modeling was performed after likelihood ratio and Hausman testing to assess the robustness of the findings. Findings The results show that outside CEO successions are significantly and negatively associated with post-succession firm innovation. Moreover, the authors found a negative effect of outside CEO succession on post-succession firm innovation when the predecessor has a long tenure or the successor is older. Originality/value .This study contributes to the literature on CEO succession, CEO–board relationships and firm innovation by shedding light on how agency, human capital and career-concerning theories in the CEO selection context apply to corporate governance and strategy. Moreover, by exploring the factors influencing CEO successors’ decision-making in terms of firm innovation in the Chinese social and cultural context, this paper identifies ways to promote firm innovation for Chinese companies from the concept of leadership succession.

Full textAbstract:
The transfer of a business to the next generation is a very important issue entailing several different social and economic influences. Failed business successions cause a loss of jobs, company knowledge and innovation potential. Creating an environment where business transfer is supported should therefore be of major importance for company owners and for policy makers. For better succession planning it is important to know the obstacles and challenges associated with business succession. Especially Eastern European countries face many challenges as these countries have no experience in business succession. To analyze the obstacles and challenges of business succession in Central Europe, three Eastern countries (CZ, SK and PL) with no experience in business succession were analyzed and compared to Austria where half of family businesses are at least in their second generation. Literature analysis and two focus groups with stakeholders (local public authorities and private entrepreneurs) were undertaken in all four countries. The results show that one of the main obstacles and challenges for business succession is the absence of a successor. Especially in Austria, this is recognized as the main obstacle. The Eastern countries (CZ, SK and PL) face different challenges to Austria that can mainly be explained by the lack of experience and supporting schemes for business succession. Especially knowledge and awareness related obstacles play an important role in Eastern European countries. Business succession is an individual process involving many emotions; therefore psychological and social issues are perceived as a huge obstacle in each analyzed country. Austria has a lot of experience with successful business transfers and offers various support mechanisms. However, many similar problems to Eastern countries were detected. A change of the business succession environment and the raising of awareness of the topic is therefore necessary in all investigated countries.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues DPRK instability narratives that the Kim regime will collapse like the Soviet bloc are misguided and that US foreign policy founded upon them has at times led to a 'wait and see' approach sometimes referred to as strategic patience. One source of instability narratives, hereditary succession in North Korea, has occurred twice successfully, with leaders choosing their successor and being invested in their succession in a way that may not occur if the successor were not family. By comparing Kim Il Sung and Mao Ze Dong's succession attempts, this paper hypothesizes that the longer time a successor has to consolidate power prior to succession, herein referred to as the "power incubation period" (PIP), the more likely their regime's survival. This contributes to both the literature on authoritarian regime succession and foreign policy towards those regimes by demonstrating that the temporal aspect of regime consolidation takes place both before and after succession and that in cases of hereditary succession, the perceptional variant of family ties allows for a longer PIP prior to succession.

This article examines the effects of CEO successions on stockholder wealth in large firms that are also experiencing bankruptcy. Succession announcements that occurred prior to and subsequent to bankruptcy announcements are associated with positive abnormal returns, and we found a greater incidence of outside succession near bankruptcy than for successions in general. The market’s reaction was also more positive for outsiders than for insiders, and this was especially so when the succession happened after bankruptcy.

Leadership succession is a perennial source of instability in autocratic regimes. Despite this, it has remained a curiously understudied phenomenon in political science. In this article, we compile a novel and comprehensive dataset on civil war in Europe and combine it with data on the fate of monarchs in 28 states over 800 years to investigate how autocratic succession affected the risk of civil war. Exploiting the natural deaths of monarchs to identify exogenous variation in successions, we find that successions substantially increased the risk of civil war. The risk of succession wars could, however, be mitigated by hereditary succession arrangements (i.e., primogeniture—the principle of letting the oldest son inherit the throne). When hereditary monarchies replaced elective monarchies in Europe, succession wars declined drastically. Our results point to the importance of the succession, and the institutions governing it, for political stability in autocratic regimes.

Spatial dimension of abandoned fields has been expanding more in rural subalpine zones of Nepal leading to various patterns of secondary succession. The secondary succession in the subalpine Himalayas has not yet been evaluated. Here, I describe a study initiated in Manang district, Central Nepal where enough abandoned fields of different chronosequences were located. A definitive successional pattern was predicted from the data obtained from sampling 256 plots of 1 × 1 m2 each systematically in a total of 43 abandoned fields from 1 to 55 years after abandonment. Change in composition pattern of 11 most important plant species was analyzed through the Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA). The first two axes of DCA explained 19.1 % of the total variation in the species composition. Early, mid and late successions were three stages distinguished each by their abundance scores and life-forms composition. Malva neglecta, Phleum alpinum and Fagopyrum esculentum were dominant at the recently abandoned fields. Cynoglossum zeylanicum, Malaxis muscifera, Medicago falcata and Pennisetum flaccidum were mid succession species, and Thymus linearis, Tanacetum gossypinum, Pinus wallichiana and Poa annua represented the late succession species.doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/botor.v8i0.5553 Botanica Orientalis – Journal of Plant Science (2011) 8: 10-15

The main purpose of the research is to investigate the implementation of values on family company successions in Bali. This descriptive research was conducted in family business in Bali which have done successions to, at least, their second generation. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by using Likert scale. Meanwhile, to discover the implementation of values towards successors' performance, PLS (Partial Least Square) analysis was carried out. The research elaborates that (1) values are positive and significant effect on the characteristics of successor, (2) values did not affect the succession planning, (3) strong values which were emphasized by the owners did not affect the succession planning, (4) values did not affect the successors' performance, and (5) values which were transferred by predecessors did not have any impacts on the successors' performance. The strongest indicator of values to enhance the performance of successors was innovation.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess factors affecting succession planning in family-owned fish trading SMEs businesses in Mwanza city. The research utilized quantitative methodologies to evaluate the effect of individual, familial, and organizational factors on succession planning within family-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mwanza city. Chi-square analyses revealed that leadership, delegation, the ability to disassociate from the business, and successor preferences significantly influence succession planning. Moreover, the interest and abilities of the successor plays a crucial role in the planning process. The study further found that family-level factors, including traditions, compensating family members, formal communication forums, and the desire to maintain family control, also significantly affect succession planning. Regression analyses indicated that individual factors such as leadership, delegation, and the abilities of potential successors positively influenced succession planning. At the family level, practices like compensating family members and establishing formal communication channels significantly contributed to succession planning, while traditional practices like favouring the eldest son as a successor did not have a substantial impact. Additionally, the study identified that the readiness of the successor, the presence of a clear and documented succession plan, effective board governance, a well-defined organizational structure, and the existence of a written strategic plan were key predictors of successful succession planning. The findings suggest that businesses with well-defined and specific succession plans, identified successors, and active development plans for the next generation are more likely to achieve success in shaping succession planning within family-owned fish trading SMEs, providing a solid foundation for successful ownership transitions. This research offers valuable insights for future research and policy development concerning SME succession planning and business sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the translational succession. The characteristic features and signs of legal acquisition have been identified. The features of translative succession, modern and most common approaches to its understanding have been considered. A comparison of translative succession and constitutive succession has been made. By identifying such differences, the article outlines the boundaries of the concept of “translative succession”. The method of analysis, synthesis and comparison has been used in the work, which allowed to identify the structural components of succession and to bring them together.
It has been established that legal succession is a transfer of rights and/or obligations from one person to another, which results in a change of the subject of legal relations. It has been found that succession is understood in the same way in many other countries. It has been concluded that the difference between constitutional succession and translative succession lies in the identity or non-identity of the right or obligation of the predecessor and the successor. In the case of translative succession, the right is transferred in full, and in the case of constitutive succession – only partially. The conclusion has been made that in case of translative succession the rights should be transferred only in full.
In general, translative succession as a type of succession is the transfer of rights and/or obligations from one person (predecessor) to another (successor), resulting in the replacement (change) of the subject of legal relations. At the same time, despite the change of the subject, the legal relationship itself as a systemic formation remains unchanged. The article establishes that the obligation which arose during the testator’s lifetime on the basis of a loan agreement and the obligation which was transferred to the heirs as a result of translational succession may not be the same in scope.

PurposeSuccession timing plays a key role in the part of the succession process. While much notice has been given solely to the viewpoint of predecessor and successor, less known about the schedule during this most critical family business dealings. The purpose of this research is to assess the right time for predecessors to let go of their leadership and allow the successor to take charge of the family business. Notably, it considers how the process of interaction between predecessor and successor may encourage successor capability, succeed the family business and following implications for the succession process as well.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory comparative case study design employed in order to disclose the time by time activities around the succession process. This study presented circa 11 case studies from family businesses of the food industry. Data gathered utilizing semi-structured interviews and formal secondary data from the organizations, all of whom operate in Java, Indonesia.FindingsFindings reveal five critical outcomes. First, the results show that most of the respondents had no written succession plan and did not keep up the developmental stages, but the succession process was successful. Second, the study found a reduced age of successor even though the stages increase. Third, the respondents did not know when was the predecessor is getting busy managing the business, and some successors did not attend college as well. Fourth, the succession process of RC is the fastest and TY is the longest. Last, the succession process of the second-generation family business is faster than the third-generation.Originality/valueThis paper presents further evidence of the succession process of family businesses. It moves beyond a timing explanation of succession to develop a more sequentially aware understanding of the agility within the succession process. It contributes to the limited references of the family business in the food industry in Indonesia as well.

Family business is a type of business which is most developed and dominant in the era of globalization. Family business becomes one of the factors that affect the economy of a country (Poza, 2010), as the existenceof family business that should be maintained. Most of the family businesses in Indonesia have not planned their succession well. This study aims to determine what processes are carried out by PT. Puterasean for companysuccession and also to find out the performance of the company after the succession. This study uses qualitative methods. The data used is primary data which is obtained through interviews. The data validity is tested usingtriangulation techniques. The results show that PT. Puterasean processes a succession through phases of activity that are: the choice of successor candidates, development, and learning prospective successor, involvingprospective successor in the company’s activities, evaluation and impact on the company’s successor. This study shows that the succession was going well and the involvement of the prospective successor had positiveimpact on the company as evidenced by the wide range of changes and improvement programs as well as increase the company’s revenue.Keywords: the family business, process succession, succession post, ACE MAN

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into how the successors of family-owned manufacturing SMEs view and manage innovativeness. Research into company takeovers mainly focuses on large companies and little is known about innovativeness in research on family-owned businesses, often SMEs. This paper presents findings from ten company successions, five of which describe family successions and five external ones. The paper points to that there is little difference in how various types of successor view and manage innovativeness. A successor is chosen with care and this also influences the view and management of innovativeness; other criteria seem to apply in the succession and radical changes can only be introduced if a number of contextual factors are managed properly. The paper also indicates that while financial constraints may limit innovations, a strong financial situation is not an antecedent for innovativeness.

Farmers in family businesses are often interested in generational succession. Yet farming parents are often unclear about the process of choosing a successor. We undertook a grounded-method study of the succession process among New Zealand farm families. The process included five stages: watching for interest, reducing the pool of eligibles, assessing commitment, compensating the others, and placing the successor. We make suggestions for future research that will test the model of succession, and for use of these findings by farm families who are contemplating family succession.

Full textAbstract:
North Korea maintains its regime through a three-generation hereditary succession. During the Kim Jong-il era, there was an academic debate over who would become the successor. At that time, Kim Jong-nam and Kim Jong-chul were considered as strong candidates, and Kim Jong-un was not in the spotlight as a potential successor. However, Kim Jong-un is currently ruling North Korea as Kim Jong-il's successor. In November 2022, the succession debate was rekindled when Kim Jong-un publicly introduced his daughter. The renewed debate began with claims that Kim Jong-un's daughter, Kim Ju-ae, had been designated as the successor. The discussions among researchers regarding Kim Ju-ae are inherently exhaustive due to limited information and resources. Therefore, it is important to analyze the implications of Kim Ju-ae's emergence for both South and North Korea, and to consider the future of North Korea under a potential fourth-generation succession. It is likely that Kim Jong-un will implement a fourth-generation succession, and we may continue to face a nuclear-armed North Korea in the future. Thus, the (south korea)government should take action to prevent Kim Jong-un's successor from inheriting nuclear weapons. Additionally, for a research project, it is necessary to discuss the fourth-generation succession and the emergence of Kim Ju-ae based on data obtained from in-depth interviews with North Korean refugees who witnessed her emergence. In conclusion, in the absence of widely accepted information and data, the succession debate is meaningless. At present, it is advisable to focus on the significance of the fourth-generation succession itself, rather than on a specific individual.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to capture legitimising principles of recent successions to the throne through narrative time. Further, this study considers leaders’ sense-giving to succession. Design/methodology/approach This research applies a “temporal narrative analysis” to explicate legitimising principles of narrative time in three recent case studies of royal succession: the kingdoms of Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Findings The findings show that royal successions in three modern European constitutional monarchies are legitimised through giving sense to narrative time. The legitimacy of timing succession is embedded in multiple temporal narratives, in which heirs apparent are brought forward as the new generation who will modernise the monarchy. Originality/value The paper presents an innovative conceptual framework of sense-giving to succession through narrative time. This framework will be helpful to scholars who aim to grasp legitimising principles of temporal narration in leadership succession.

It remains unclear how lack of management succession planning relates to the collapse of 87% of the Tanzanian family-owned manufacturing businesses (FOMBs) after the first generation. Also, the question of whether a firm’s background variables, namely; executive’s education level, business age, and business size, moderate the relationship between management succession planning and the survival of FOMBs remains unanswered. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between succession planning and the survival of FOMBs, moderated by the firm’s background variables through the lens of resource-based theory as well as agency theory. A sample of 339 executives was randomly drawn from the FOMBs in Dar es Salaam city where the collapse of FOMBs after the first generation was revealed to be significant and surveyed using a structured questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used as a quantitative data analysis technique with the support of SPSS as an analytical tool. Results revealed that management succession variables, namely; training the successor, successor involvement in business management and successor factors-work fit had a positive and significant relationship with the survival of FOMBs. However, the internal recruitment of the successor had an insignificant relationship with the survival of FOMBs. Therefore, management succession planning sustains the leadership pipeline and survival of the FOMBs through the involvement of the successor in business management, sufficiently training the successor, and handing over power to the successor whose competency and factors fit with the relevant work. The study contributes to an understanding of management succession planning variables and how they relate to the survival of family-owned manufacturing businesses. The study also provides a new conceptual framework on transgenerational management succession planning in the FOMBs.

AbstractThe lithological and biotic succession across the late Precambrian to early Cambrian interval is outlined for the Dalir and Valiabad successions of the Elburz Mountains of Iran. The Lower Dolomite Member contains an assemblage of phosphatic tubes and other poorly preserved remains. The succeeding Lower Shale Member bears macroscopic chuariamorphid algae. Early skeletal fossil diversity rises through the Middle Dolomite Member, with the successive appearance ofProtohertzina anabarica, Cambrotubulus decurvatusandAnabarites trisulcatus, culminating near the top of the dolomites with the appearance ofPurellasp.,Maikhanella multa, Tiksitheca licisand circothecids. This succession is compared with lower to upper parts of the Nemakit-Daldyn Formation of Siberia. The overlying Upper Shale Member bears phosphatic beds at its base with allathecids and an uncoiled pelagiellid (?Aldanellasp.) that suggest comparison with lower Tommotian strata and the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary phosphorite event of southern and central Asia. A rich assemblage of molluscs appears high in the Upper Shale Member, including theLatouchella korobkovigroup and thePelagiella lorenzigroup. The succession is broadly homotaxial with those from the Siberian Platform and Mongolia and those platforms bordering Gondwana (India, Kazakhstan, South China).

The training of second generation of successor has been an important task for most family-owned businesses. With groping for many years, the family-owned businesses have searched out a particular model of succession. Transferring the leadership from fathers to sons is very common, with the incumbent and the successor also being initiatively. There results in double succession of property right and management right at the same time and concentration in succession time. In this paper the development process and the character of the succession for family-owned businesses have been analyzed and discussed, and this succession model is presented, which has the general character of family-owned businesses in China, with the particular character of Changzhou. The intergenerational succession is analyzed successfully by means of the model, and the result is validated by the family-owned businesses in Changzhou.

This article examines how the context and content of CEO successions affect the reactions of organization members in Fortune 500 firms. The influence ofpresuccessionfinancial performance, predecessor tenure, the force initiating a change in CEO, and successor origin on postsuccession disruption, management turnover, and company morale was assessed (controlling for both size and age offirm). These consequences of succession, measured in a survey to which 235 human resources executives responded, had not been investigated in previous large-scale empirical studies. The conceptual model and empirical results of this study suggest that understanding how organization members react to leadership changes is intrinsically important for organization scientists, potentially useful in explaining the effects of succession on economic performance outcomes, and valuable for those seeking to cope effectively with the aftermath of leadership transitions.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of natural succession on plant and soil bacterial communities were previously established, but changes in plant and soil bacterial communities and their response to soil properties are not well characterized in different stages of secondary forest succession, especially in tropical regions with endemic plant species. We investigated the dynamics of plant communities, soil properties and the structure of soil bacterial communities at sites representing 33 (early successional stage), 60 (early-mid successional stage) and 73 (mid successional stage) years of secondary succession in the tropical lowland rainforest of Hainan, China, by using16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. From the perspective of plant composition, the number of families, genera and species were increasing along with the progress of succession. Additionally, the changes in the ranking of important values along with the progress of the forest succession were consistent with the niche width calculated by the previous stage of the plant community. The results of niche overlap, Pearson’s correlation and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients and significance indicated that in the early stage of succession, tree species did not fully utilize environmental resources. Then, as time went by, the number of negative correlations of plants in the early-mid stage was more than that in the mid stage of succession. Significant differences were found in the species richness of soil microorganisms among the three successional stages. Nutrient contents in early successional stage rainforests were less abundant than in early-mid and mid forest soils. The influence of soil nutrient concentration, particularly N and P content, on soil bacterial composition at the phylum level was larger in the early-mid stage than in the mid stage. The stochasticity of the soil bacterial community at the early successional stage of the rainforest was significantly higher than that at mid stage. Overall, as the diversity of plant communities increased, the competition decreased, the soil nutrient content changed and the stochasticity of soil bacterial communities decreased as a result of forest succession.

Full textAbstract:
This paper uses the theory of planned behavior to hypothesize the influence of the incumbent's desire to keep the business in the family, the family's commitment to the business, and the propensity of a trusted successor to take over on the extent to which family firms engage in succession planning activities. We test these hypotheses using data collected from presidents in 118 family firms. The results show that the propensity of a trusted successor to take over significantly affects the incidence of all succession-planning-related activities. Succession planning may, then, be the result of push by the successor more than of pull by the incumbent. Such a view has negative implications for the succession process that the family firms in our sample follow.

Full textAbstract:
We present a detailed description of the tectono-stratigraphic architecture of the eclogite-facies Internal Piedmont Zone (IPZ) metaophiolite, exposed in the Lanzo Valleys (Western Alps), which represents the remnant of the Jurassic Alpine Tethys. Seafloor spreading and mantle exhumation processes related to the Alpine Tethys evolution strongly conditioned the intra-oceanic depositional setting, which resulted in an articulated physiography and a heterogeneous stratigraphic succession above the exhumed serpentinized mantle. “Complete” and “reduced” successions were recognized, reflecting deposition in morphological or structural lows and highs, respectively. The “complete” succession consists of quartzite, followed by marble and calcschist. The “reduced” succession differs for the unconformable contact of the calcschist directly above mantle rocks, lacking quartzite and gray marble. The serpentinite at the base of this succession is intruded by metagabbro and characterized at its top by ophicalcite horizons. Mafic metabreccia grading to metasandstone mark the transition between the “complete” and “reduced” successions. The character of the reconstructed succession and basin floor physiography of the IPZ metaophiolite is well comparable with the Middle Jurassic–Late Cretaceous succession of both the Queyras Complex (External Piedmont Zone) and the Internal Ligurian Units (Northern Apennines) and with modern slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges.

This study identified the main biological mechanisms governing the diversity of ants on different ecological time scales. Ants were sampled in 15 plots distributed in early, intermediate and late stages of succession (five plots per stage) at the Parque Estadual da Mata Seca, Brazil. At each sample point, unbaited pitfall traps were installed in hypogaeic, epigaeic and arboreal strata. We collected 95 ant species from 26 genera and nine subfamilies. Our results indicated that there was an increase in species richness in advanced stages of succession. We also observed that ant assemblages were different among successional stages. For the arboreal and epigaeic strata, species richness did not change with succession progression, but species composition of these two strata differed among successional stages. Unlike to arboreal and epigaeic ants, hypogaiec ant species richness was higher in the intermediate and late stages of succession and the composition of hypogaeic ants differed among successional stages. Similarity between ant species foraging in arboreal and epigaeic strata decreases with succession progression and β-diversity was higher in advanced successional stages. Additionally, species richness was higher in the dry season, whereas the composition of ant assemblages did not change between seasons. A considerable fraction of the ant assemblage was found only in advanced stages of succession, demonstrating the importance of secondary habitats in maintaining biodiversity in dry forests.

Succession is crucial in the small-scale dairy cattle business, predominantly managed by family members. The process of preparing a successor in a dairy farming family is a challenging endeavor. This study aims to explore the succession process through family business participation, the factors influencing a successor's participation, and succession patterns in family dairy farming. This study employed a quantitative method for multiple regression model and a qualitative method to compile the opinion of the succession patterns. The results revealed the low successor participation index for family business due to restricted time. Six variables significantly influenced successors’ participation in family dairy farms: family size, gender, employment status, number of dairy cattle, age, and farm size. The study’s findings generated two succession patterns: farm transfer and farm handover. The succession patterns preserved the existence of family dairy farms in Pangalengan District, West Java, Indonesia. Therefore, this study suggests to encourage the participation of potential successors to ensure the sustainability of family dairy farming.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: How do dictators prepare for succession? Scholars have studied the determinants of succession, but we know little about the mechanisms, including elite management, of how succession occurs. The authors argue that incumbents prepare for succession by building a power base of elites outside their inner circle, for their preferred successor; doing so helps the successor to stabilize the regime. The authors test this argument by examining preparations for succession in the prominent but puzzling case of North Korea under Kim Jong Il, leveraging the plausibly exogenous shock that Kim suffered—a stroke—that caused him to prepare for succession. Quantitative analysis of 1,573 leadership events under Kim between 1994 and 2011, with original biographical data on 230 North Korean elites, supports the argument. Qualitative evidence of elites’ roles after Kim’s death is consistent with the argument’s logic. Rather than being atypical, as North Korea is often portrayed, the findings apply to other personalist autocracies.

Trait-based approaches to calculate ecological strategy is important for understanding forest succession dynamics. However, the functional traits and ecological strategy change during succession remain poorly understood. We measured key leaf traits and calculated scores for CSR ecological strategy for 13 co-existing species in different successional stages in tropical lowland rain forests. We analyzed the patterns of functional traits and CSR strategies varied along the succession. The relationship between CSR strategy and environmental factors was examined. Our research results are as follows: (1) In older plots, LDMC was generally lower and SLA was generally higher than younger plots with the succession, the functional traits of the successional co-existing tree species changed, and SLA and LDMC showed significant differences. (2) The co-existing tree species’ strategies shifted from S/CS and CS strategies to CS/CSR and CS strategies along the succession. (3) Ecological strategies are linked to different combinations of environmental factors across the four successional stages. Our study suggests that the co-existing tree species in different succession stages of tropical lowland rain forests have a high degree of resistance and a conservative ecological strategy, which is significantly related to canopy openness, soil water content, and soil nutrients.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can form symbiotic relationships with plants, aiding in plant growth by providing access to nutrients and defense against phytopathogenic fungi. In this context, factors such as plant assemblages and soil properties can impact the interaction between EMF and phytopathogenic fungi in forest soil. However, there is little understanding of how these fungal interactions evolve as forests move through succession stages. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to investigate fungal communities in young, intermediate, and old subtropical forests. At the genus level, EMF communities were dominated by Sebacina, Russula, and Lactarius, while Mycena was the most abundant genus in pathogenic fungal communities. The relative abundances of EMF and phytopathogenic fungi in different stages showed no significant difference with the regulation of different factors. We discovered that interactions between phytopathogenic fungi and EMF maintained a dynamic balance under the influence of the differences in soil quality attributed to each forest successional stage. The community composition of phytopathogenic fungi is one of the strong drivers in shaping EMF communities over successions. In addition, the EMF diversity was significantly related to plant diversity, and these relationships varied among successional stages. Despite the regulation of various factors, the positive relationship between the diversity of phytopathogenic fungi and EMF remained unchanged. However, there is no significant difference in the ratio of the abundance of EMF and phytopathogenic fungi over the course of successions. These results will advance our understanding of the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning during forest succession. Key points •Community composition of both EMF and phytopathogenic fungi changed significantly over forest succession. •Phytopathogenic fungi is a key driver in shaping EMF community. •The effect of plant Shannon’s diversity on EMF communities changed during the forest aging process.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the successional process from a disturbed forest to a mature forest is essential for species recovery and conservation initiatives. The resource acquisition and drought tolerance of plants can be instructive to predictions of species abundance and distribution for different forests. However, they have not been adequately tested at different successional stages in karst regions. Here, we selected seven dominant species in an early-succession forest and 17 species in a late-succession forest in a karst region of southwestern China. Resource acquisition-related traits such as hydraulic conductivity and photosynthetic rate, and drought tolerance-related traits, including turgor loss point and wood density, were measured. We found that species in the early-succession forest had a higher hydraulic conductance and photosynthetic rate than those in the late-succession forest, while leaf water potential at turgor loss point and wood density showed nonsignificant differences between the two forests. In addition, we observed a significant negative relationship between photosynthetic rate and drought tolerance in the early-succession forest, which was not identified in late-succession forests. Our study indicates that resource acquisition rather than drought tolerance was the key factor explaining plant distributions in forests at different successional stages in karst regions. We also suggest that the resource acquisition and drought tolerance trade-off hypothesis is not always supported for karst region species. Our study could inform about the design of species replacements in successional forests and provide forest management and restoration guidelines for karst regions.

AbstractWe applied a multi-taxa approach integrating the co-occurrence of plants, ground beetles, spiders and springtails with soil parameters (temperatures and chemical characteristics) in order to describe the primary succession along two glacier forelands in the Maritime Alps (Italy), a hotspot of Mediterranean biodiversity. We compared these successions to those from Central Alps: Maritime glacier forelands markedly differ for their higher values of species richness and species turnover. Contrary to our expectation, Maritime glacier forelands follow a ‘replacement change model’, like continental succession of Inner Alps and differently from other peripheral successions. We propose that the temperatures along these Mediterranean glacier forelands are warmer than those along other Alpine glacier forelands, which promote the faster species turnover. Furthermore, we found that early and mid successional stages of the investigated glaciers are richer in cold-adapted and endemic species than the later ones: we confirmed that the ‘replacement change’ model disadvantages pioneer, cold-adapted species. Given the overall correspondence among cold-adapted and endemic species, the most threatened in this climate phase, our results raise new concerns about the extinction risk of these species. We also describe supraglacial habitat of Maritime glaciers demonstrating that supraglacial debris represents an environment decoupled from the regional climate and may have an important role as refugium for coldadapted and hygrophilous plant and animal species, whose survival can be threatened by climate change and by a rapid ecological succession in the adjacent forelands.

There are not many sites in densely populated temperate Europe where primary forest succession has a chance to run without direct human intervention for a long time and over a relatively large area. The extensive drift sand area of the Veluwe, central Netherlands, provided an opportunity to study succession in a formerly open and dynamic inland sand dune system combining chronosequence and permanent plot approaches. Different successional stages, aged up to 205 years since the first tree individuals established, were identified and vegetation studied using 1200 permanent plots established in 1988 in three adjacent sand dune complexes of different successional age, and resampled during the past three decades. After two centuries, forest succession has proceeded to a pine forest with gradually increasing participation of native deciduous trees. However, their expansion has been arrested by browsing of wild ungulates. Species diversity peaked after about 40 years of forest succession, then declined, and increased again after 100 years. During the past three decades, the herb layer has differentiated in the oldest plots, and the spontaneous forest succession is still in progress. Besides open drift sand with early successional stages, also the spontaneously established late successional forests are valuable from the conservation point of view.

This paper aims to analyze the intersection between culture, behavior, and family in determining the new leader of family business. Organizationally, the culture of family has a significant role in the founder's willingness to hand over his business to someone who is undoubtedly considered the best. This paper uses a qualitative approach where the appropriate theoretical foundation is applied to explain the succession of family business. However, observation method is used in order to obtain the facts of family business succession of batik industry in Pekalongan City, Indonesia. Meanwhile, the sociology and psychology approach used to analyze these facts; therefore, the succession process can be explained correctly. This paper provides several important results of family business succession in Pekalongan City, Indonesia. The succession tends to be carried out in several stages; therefore, the process runs smoothly, i.e., the successor improves his/her ability in managing the business, and then its predecessor reduces their responsibility. Further, the succession process consists of two models, namely planned and unplanned models, where they have their strengths and weakness. We believe some factors influence the succession process, such as motivation, commitment, and dependence of predecessor and successor.

Succession is a concern for most family firms. The literature has addressed succession in family firms from different perspectives. However, there are still unaddressed questions concerning the microfoundations of succession, and there is a need to secure a better understanding of the succession process and what role parents play therein. Using the dynamic capabilities approach, we shed light on the influence of parents’ behaviors on successors’ intentions. In particular, the paper pursues a twofold aim; first, to analyze the effect of learning mechanisms that parents deliberately use with their children in the family firm on the succession dynamic capability; and second, to explore the impact of this dynamic capability of successor intention to continue in the family firm. We test the model on a sample of potential successors of family firms in Spain. Using partial least squares (PLS) for a sample of 9146 individuals, we confirm the positive impact of the use of parents’ deliberate learning mechanisms on succession dynamic capability and, in turn, the positive effect of the created succession dynamic capability on the successor’s intention to continue the family firm. Furthermore, we find that perceived self-efficacy fails to have any effect on successor intention.

The succession presents property assignment from one person on behalf of others after his death. The process of succession can be performed by the law (heir at law) or by the will. Both options are regulated in details in Macedonian legal system.Whilst the human nature requires to see the positive effects of the inheritance, as well as to research the rights for succession, the law anticipated another opposite option - possibility for cutting of the will or so called lack of succession. The lack of succession represents a legal form where the possible successor loses his right to inherent any asset either by law (ex lege) or by the will. The lack of succession is not linked with the legal possibility for legacy or with the last will, but the lack of succession is linked with the personal character of the successor and his unmoral or illegal behavior. The lack of succession is a kind of penalty for the impropriate behavior of the possible successor towards the owner of the property or towards community from one side, as well as a protection measure for the property owner from the other side.The lack of succession is a part of almost all legal systems, in almost all of the countries with the only difference in the reasons why a person can be proclaim undignified for a legacy and a person with a lack of succession.The Macedonian legal system anticipated few reasons that are going to be elaborated in details in this paper. Mainly, those are cases where the possible successor reaches or tried to reach to the life of the owner of the will, forced or used some other illegal way to lead the owner of the will to make or abrogate the will, hide or destroyed the will in order to make a fake copy and change the last will, violate the obligation for sustenance or denied to offer the necessary assistance.In order to be affirmed these statements, Public prosecution and State attorney Office are authorized to obtain the information they have.These statements will be proved or denied by the Court, an institution authorized to prove the lack of succession.The conditions foreseen in the law of succession cannot be changed or modified.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a model that can explain how organizations may retain their executives’ tacit knowledge in the organization especially during the succession period. The proposed model takes into consideration three critical contexts that may assist in improving the knowledge flow during the transition period, namely, motivation context, transition context and ability context. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a conceptual framework that emphasizes the importance of the will and skill of two parties involved in succession, i.e. the predecessor and successor, as well as the context of the succession. To this end, the paper advances a set of propositions that explain how these different contexts affect the quantity and quality of the knowledge acquired by the successor at the end of the succession period. Findings This paper advances a theoretical model that describes the antecedents and moderator of job-specific knowledge acquired during executive succession. Research limitations/implications This paper presents a theoretical model that explains knowledge flow during the transitory period of succession. It emphasizes the importance of the motivation and ability of the partners involved while taking into consideration the context of succession. Practical implications This paper contributes considerably and in a practical manner to managers in general and to human resource managers in particular. It draws the attention of concerned managers to check the motivation of both successor and predecessor in experiencing the transition, explain to the successors the job description of the position to direct their attention to learn specific knowledge and equip both parties involved in the succession with the needed skills. Originality/value This paper advances a new concept termed as accelerated engaged tacit knowledge acquisition. This concept complements other perspectives of knowledge flow and learning and takes into consideration the specific context of executive succession.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Despite the extensive breadth of research into the critical challenge of succession in family business, generational succession in family business has been investigated from predominately one-dimensional perspective. The purpose of this paper is to respond to call for a multi-perspectives examination of leadership succession in order to embrace the dynamic and complex nature of succession in a family business. Accordingly, the authors investigated the key personal and professional factors associated with effective family-business succession across four key stakeholders: incumbent, successor, family, and nonfamily members. Design/methodology/approach The explanatory research design included 16 interviews in Phase 1 and 41 prospective case study interviews in Phase 2, both with Australian family businesses that had or were about to experience generational transition. Findings Incumbents and successor interview findings support the benefits of maintaining a cohesive family business, adaptable family culture, and familiness for effective succession. The authors also identified several personal components (e.g. family-business socialization and external experiences) that can help determine the commitment of successors and how this commitment can change once they assume a leadership position. Business size was the professional component supported by incumbent, successor, and nonfamily members as having a significant impact on succession process. As family business grows and becomes more highly complex, a clearly defined set of procedures become imperative. Practical implications Family-business practitioners can apply the findings to manage the processes and expectations of family and the business to achieve effective generational succession and thereby increase the sustainability of the business. Originality/value This research provides a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the interdependencies of competing priorities in the complex succession process that is essential for family-business sustainability and performance.

Full textAbstract:
Succession is a complex process. It touches issues related to transfer of ownership, management and knowledge in family firms. It is a process that requires adequate preparation stage and needs to be planned in time. It starts much before successor involvement in business matters, and ends up with incumbent retirement. In relation to the aforementioned argumentation the aim of the paper is evaluation and synthesis of the most crucial achievements in the field of research on succession in family firms. The paper is a review of scientific works discussing the process of conducting succession in family firms, from planning stage to the successor selection. The paper is based on articles published in well‑known foreign journals and covers the period of the past 40 years. Conducted research proved that different scholars involved in family entrepreneurship research show their unabated interest in succession problems. Transferring the business to the next generation is still a controversial issue and there is no way to avoid many personal or business conflicts.

"Changes in Community Structure and Functional Characteristics of Soil Bacteria and Fungi along Karst Vegetation Succession."

Full textAbstract:
Soil microbes are a crucial component of karst ecosystems, and exploring their community changes during succession can help to elucidate the mechanisms driving succession dynamics. However, the variation of soil microbial communities during vegetation succession in karst ecosystems is still poorly understood. We studied the variations in community structure and potential functions of soil microbes within the four successional stages of grassland (GL), shrubland (SL), secondary forest (SF), and primary forest (PF) for the topsoil (0–10 cm) and subsoil (10–20 cm) in a karst area using high-throughput sequencing. The research findings showed that the bacterial and fungal community diversity and composition changed more obviously in the topsoil than in the subsoil across the succession. With vegetation succession, the structural and functional characteristics of soil bacterial and fungal communities show different trends, with soil fungal communities having a greater response to successional stage changes. Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria were dominant in secondary and primary forests, respectively, while Bacteroidetes was prevalent in grassland. However, the change in Proteobacteria was not significant at both soil depths. Ascomycota was the dominant phylum of soil fungi throughout the succession. The function of soil bacteria was mainly carbohydrate metabolism, which had the highest proportion in the shrubland at different soil depths. The dominant fungal functional groups were saprotroph, pathotroph, and pathotroph–saprotroph. The soil bacterial communities were observably affected by soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total potassium, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and leucine aminopeptidase, among which soil organic carbon, ammonia nitrogen, and leucine aminopeptidase mainly influenced the bacterial community in the topsoil, while nitrate nitrogen chiefly influenced the bacterial community in the subsoil. The soil fungal community was only significantly affected by soil organic carbon. Collectively, these results indicate that the effects of vegetation succession on soil microbial communities are largely driven by successional stage and soil properties, with soil fungi being more susceptible to the vegetation successional stage and soil bacteria being more sensitive to the soil properties. During this process, soil bacterial and fungal communities follow different succession patterns.
