Abstract

The family business has its development associated with a family, or simply one that has family members in running the business. It is worth emphasizing the importance of these companies for Brazil and its economy, since they represent one of the largest means of employment in the country and its development. In this sense, the present research seeks to describe the succession process, in the view of the successor, of family companies associated with the Chamber of Warehouse Managers (CDL) of the city of Cajazeiras - PB. For this, the research carried out is of a quantitative nature, characterizing itself as a field study, exploratory and descriptive, carried out with the successors of 5 family companies linked to the Chamber of Shopkeepers. Data were collected through a questionnaire containing open and closed questions, based on the study by Bonn (2013). For their treatment, the use of average was chosen and for a better presentation of the results the Excel 2013 Software was used. The successors' answers to the objective questions, which basically consisted of forming a profile of the respondents and Of the companies, were presented in graphical forms for a better visualization, and the descriptive detail of the evolution of each company and the exposition of the possible successors were also made in the analysis section. In general terms, companies do not present succession planning, but they perform tacitly. Most successors have been inducted and directed from children to family business administration and have managed to separate conflicts and family matters considerably from professional matters.
