Abstract

As family firms are often portrayed as path-dependent failing to implement organizational change, succession can act as a path breaker or amplifier affecting post-succession organizational change. We provide a model that investigates the power of the incumbent in the pre- and post-succession period as important determinants for organizational change post-succession.
