There are differences in the way people perceive the role of women and men in business. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of male or female leaders on two business families in Indonesia. The success of the family company cannot be separated from the role of the first generation in trusting future generations to continue their family business. A qualitative approach was used, where the data were collected through interviews with two family companies with different generations of successors. One family company has a female successor generation and another family company has a male successor. The findings showed that the first generation trusted from an early age and involved the second generation in the family business, whether their children were girls or boys. In fact, all succeeded in taking over the baton of leadership. An interesting finding is that even though the next generation is female and handles welding, which is more commonly done by men, thanks to the trust given by their parents, this next generation would be more masculine in order to gain legitimacy from employees who have worked for a long time in the company. This is as good as the next generation of men in other family companies. Keywords: family business, gender, first-generation roles, succession of success

<p>Family business has many challenges to sustain for generations. Two legendary Peranakan batik entrepreneurial families halted their businesses at the third generation and this research looks for the causes of this failure. Through qualitative research method, the conclusion drawn is that there is no mature succession planning from the predecessor to the successor. Meanwhile, the difference in motivation and commitment of the next generation of these two family businesses do not seem to cause a difference in the final journey of Batik Oey Soe Tjoen and Batik Tiga Negeri. Factors beyond succession planning and commitment of future generations can be subject to further research studies.</p><p> </p>

Sustainability addresses environmental and social issues affecting this and future generations. When family businesses perceive that the community is disrupted, recognizes an environmental problem and responds by implementing new environmental policies or regulations. The family business&rsquo;s socio-emotional values press to transition to a more sustainable production system, such as the circular Economy. Drawing on the Dubin (1978) methodology, we design a sustainable model, which shows family businesses&rsquo; response to changes in the environment. It explains the reasons why family businesses transition to Circular Economy, based on the theory of Socio-Emotional Wealth. We check the model through the case study of the food retail leader in Spanish market, Mercadona that applies policies about energy, resources and waste to became a circular economy business model.

Family businesses do not perpetuate themselves. Entrepreneurs must nurture and propagate the values that led to the creation of the very thing most precious to them‐their business.This of course depends on stability. Nor do these cherished values propagate themselves. To be made meaningful for others, and for future generations, family experiences, values, and achievements must be communicated to others via language, narrative and storytelling, or other forms embedded in the narrative such as symbols. Often a variety of different socially constructed stories may be necessary contingent upon situation, purpose, or need.

This paper helps to theorize the link between family generation and the characteristics, behaviour, management and governance of the firm. The paper also answers the question: to what extent is competitive position affected by each generation? The paper overcomes the limitation of the cross-sectional data, since the investigation is applied to data from Spanish firms during the period 1994 to 2005, which is much more appropriate when discussing developmental models. Our results confirm the greater degree of complexity of the family firm, as the ownership and the running of the business is passed to future generations. However, and contrary to all expectations, family firms in the sample have a high degree of concentration of ownership, regardless of the generation and a greater complexity in the business does not give rise to the incorporation of external partners in the company’s share capital. In fact, third generation companies have no external partners, with 100% capital remaining in the family.
