Prácticas aconsejables para la construcción de un plan de sucesión familiar exitoso
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Cely Rodríguez, Illsee Andrea; López Gallego, Francisco Darío
This research analyzes recommends practices for building a successful succession plan in Colombia. It was identified that many companies in the country have stopped operating on a generational basis due to the absence of a clear succession plan, which can lead to a disruption in operations over time. For this reason, the lack of a succession plan becomes a significant risk factor for the continuity of family operated business organizations. The study includes interviews with eleven family businesses belonging to the first, second and third generations, with the purpose of identifying the family situations they face when designing a succession plan. The main objective was to prepare a simple and easy-to-implement document that facilitates the process of creating an executable succession plan. In this way, the study sought to define the most common factors that influence family businesses, either to motivate them to establish a succession plan or to postpone it, even when they recognize its importance. The methodology used was a qualitative approach, since this allowed a more transversal and open analysis. The interviews conducted with the representatives of the eleven family businesses provided valuable information about the challenges they face as a family when designing a succession plan.
