Abstract

This chapter explores how social capital influences the sustainability of family businesses over generations. In a volatility-uncertainty-complexity-ambiguity (VUCA) world, relationships and networks become more and more important. Although social capital is accumulated over time and not easily transmitted, its transfer to the next generation must be a top priority in every family business. A qualitative method of data analysis was used to better understand the process and the mechanisms through which social capital and the firm’s relationships are transferred in intra-family succession.
