Summary:This study models the influence of family relationships on succession variables, using a sample of 130 participants from 109 family businesses. Results suggest that the effects of family adaptability and family cohesion on succession planning and successor training are determined by the family's commitment to the business and the quality of the owner-manager and successor relationship.
