    A Study of the Factors Influencing Successors’ Choices in Indian Family-Managed Businesses
    (IDEAS is a RePEc, 2015) Kumar, Arya
    Succession is a key to ensuring longevity of firms hence is important in family business research. The factors that influence successors’ decisions to join family businesses in India are studied. A list of 21 factors from the literature is tested on 351 students. Multivariate discriminant analysis is used. The results show that self-efficacy and external opportunities have a negative effect and parental preparation has a positive effect on the decision to join a family firm. External opportunity is further examined by a regression analysis and is found to be correlated to the perception of the father’s success in the family firm.

    (IDEAS is a RePEc, 2016) Kumar, Arya
    Successors play a critical role in the future of family businesses, to either grow, maintain or sometimes even wind them up. Succession depends upon multiple factors including intent of the successor and the reasons for the successor to join the family business. This paper attempts to undertake a detailed literature review on succession in family managed businesses. The rationale for joining family businesses is examined around succession as a process, analysis at multiple unit levels, the role of the founders and other members, the phases of succession, geographic, economic and demographic factors. The objective is to identify the issues in career choices and the gaps that exist in research particularly with reference to Indian economy.
