Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis aims to analyze succession in family businesses in Brazil, with emphasis on the influence of legal structure — limited liability company or corporation — on the continuity of family control across generations.

By addressing succession as a complex and multidimensional process, the study shows that the absence of succession planning and the lack of governance mechanisms are key factors contributing to business discontinuity
