- Abstract
- This paper explores relationship between family firm incumbent owners and the chosen successor. In particular, the decisions made by the incumbent to invest in the successor’s social capital and the commitment of the successor to the firm are the main focus. Game theory is used to investigate these issues to achieve optimal outcomes for the parties concerned including the firm. The main findings of this study are that commitment of the successor is important to the firm and the incumbent realising a return from the investment for the firm.; E1
