Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book explores entrepreneurial actions and succession planning within African family businesses, focusing on Uganda's patriarchal and developing economy. Drawing on empirical evidence, it examines how entrepreneurial behaviours such as dynamic capabilities, opportunity identification, and innovation influence transgenerational continuity. The book shows that dynamic capabilities enable family firms to sense environmental changes, adapt strategically, and identify opportunities that strengthen succession planning. Entrepreneurial actions therefore become a mechanism through which successors are prepared, exposed to business operations, and aligned with long-term family goals.The findings further reveal that innovation, although important for business sustainability, does not directly influence succession planning because many family firms prioritize preserving family legacy, cohesion, and control over risky investments. Consequently, innovation must be supported by broader institutional and strategic frameworks to contribute to continuity outcomes.
