‘This unique compendium of case studies on father-daughter succession in family enterprises sheds light on the varied pathways adopted to negotiate this key transition in the life cycle of families and their firms. With

cases from 25 countries around the globe and a large spectrum of industries, this pioneering work is a must read for all entrepreneurial family enterprise owners and progressive scholars who want to keep pace with the

changing world of women leaders taking over from their fathers.’ Dr Pramodita Sharma , Editor, Family Business Review;

Director, Global STEP Project for Family Enterprising; Babson College, Massachusetts, USA

‘These cross-cultural cases are such an important contribution to the family business literature; it is still relatively rare that research on succession takes cultural variables as well as gender into account. Take an

enlightening voyage of discovery, tap into the knowledge generated by the dedicated authors in this volume and the families in business around the world who collaborated with them. Congratulations to the editors and the

authors for the excellent job they have done bringing this important topic to life through these cases.’Dr Colette Dumas, Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University, USA

Using case studies from many different cultures and continents Father–Daughter Succession in Family Business looks at the cultural and other changes which have led to daughters gaining influence in more and more family businesses and the tensions this can produce between old notions of how men and women should behave and the new style of leadership that often comes about when a woman takes the helm.
