The first generation of the business that had been founded in 1960~1970s faces the situation to consider the succession of the family business developed by devotion of their whole lives in the critical timing to the next generation. In the process of selecting the party of family business succession, it is required to consider a variety of succession types including smooth transfer to the other family member or the employee of the company, selling the company, or hiring external specialist. Foreign countries acknowledge the importance of the succession in the family owned company to perform multiple studies on the influential factors to the succession, distinction, and types of family business succession; and they utilize the results for the related policy development and the support of family owned business succession. However, few studies have been conducted on the succession of the domestic family owned business and majority of them are related to the types of succession. Considering its share and influential power in the domestic economy, it is necessary to develop the guideline and the policies to solve many issues on the succession of the family owned business by systemic studies. Hence, the impact of the main characteristics in the family owned business on the types of its succession was analyzed in this study focusing on five domains of Socioemtional Wealth (SEW) in view of Behavioral Agency Theory by Gomez-Mejia et al. (2007) using the data from 540 family owned small-to-medium sized businesses so as to analyze the issues on their business succession. Upon the empirical analysis results, it was confirmed that they were influenced to the selection of succession type by family succession > internal employee succession > external succession, for the variables of social contribution which were non-financial characteristics, internal employee succession > family succession > external succession for the intellectual properties, and family succession > external succession for the management participation of the family. The distinction of social contribution were influenced the most to the selection of the succession types. Financial factors, business performance, and R&D investment variables were not significantly influenced to their selection of the succession types. In case of simultaneous management, the family succession rate was high and it showed the control effect to strengthen selecting family owned business with R&D investment, social contribution, and company history variables. The behavioral agency theory used in this study was confirmed with high explanation power on the family owned business succession. The family owned business showed the tendency to maintain SEW, and non-financial factors such as accumulated know-how and social contribution based on the long term history were significantly affected to the succession in the small-to-medium sized family owned businesses, unlike general large sized listed companies. The results of this study are expected to be helpful practically for the succession of the family owned business and to suggest the guideline for the development of governmental policy.

A successful succession of family businesses is a very important issue that greatly affects the sustainability of the business. Among the factors affecting successful succession, the successors of the family business were identified on the entrepreneurship held by small business owners and on the management performance of the business. This study was analyzed empirically by the managers who currently run the actual business through completion of or process of succession. Successive factors were established as a place for education and succession of heirs, and entrepreneurship was divided into innovativeness, risk-taking and pro-activeness, and management performance was divided into financial and non-financial achievements. The analysis shows that the education and training of successors among succession factors have significant implications for both managerial performance and entrepreneurship, and that the success of successors has no significant impact on non-financial performance, innovativeness and pro-activeness. In addition, while the risk-taking nature of entrepreneurship was concerned with the performance of management, innovativeness and pro-activeness were not all significant. According to this study, the education and training of successors and the determination of successors in succession family businesses have a significant impact on management performance and entrepreneurship.

This study investigates the relationships between the characteristics of the succession process and organizational performance as well as the moderating roles of strategic HRM practices in these relationships. Data was collected from 256 successors and HR managers(128 for each) in South Korean family businesses where the succession process either had been completed or was currently underway around time of data collected and analyzed. Our results indicate that the provision of successor training is positively related to organizational performance, while the clarity of the incumbent's role after succession, communication of the decision regarding succession, and the incumbent's propensity to step aside are not significantly related to organizational performance. Further, our results confirm (a) the moderating effects of strategic staffing practices between communication of the decision regarding succession and organizational performance, and (b) the moderating effects of strategic staffing practices between the incumbent's propensity to step aside and organizational performance. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

A lot of research has been done on the succession of family businesses. However, there has been little discussion and policy approach on the succession of small enterprise. Since '19, the government has established a policy on the concept of small enterprise succession. Therefore, the time has come for a research system to establish the concept of small enterprise succession. Accordingly, this study tried to apply it to small enterprise based on the existing discussion on family business succession. As a result, even for small business owners, the internal factors of enterprise, spirit, and craftsmanship had an important influence on succession. However, small enterprise have a characteristic that ambiguity of authority occurs because they are not yet systematized. Also, role ambiguity occurs in performing various roles, which can be viewed as a characteristic of small enterprise. Prior to empirical research on the family business succession of small enterprise, this study tried to present the basis for the need for research in this field by presenting the definition and conceptualization of small enterprise succession through case study.

This study focuses on succession in a family business which is the crucial factor affecting future and survival of a family business. Especially, the study concentrate a successor's view which is regarded as a key-player during the succession. In this study, we used AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology to identify priorities of factors influencing succession. We divided into two-tier level. The first-tier is defined as 1) the relationship with an incumbent CEO, 2) a successor 's management ability, 3) a successor' s self-efficacy and 4) succession plan. For the second-tier of each first-tier have 3 sub-factors ; 1) the relationship with an incumbent CEO is set as level of mutual trust, sharing the vision of a company, and level of communication each other. 2) A successor 's management ability is based on business competence, education and training and interpersonal management ability, 3) a successor 's self-efficacy was set as successor' s willingness of succession, confidence of overcoming crisis and confidence of achieving objectives. Lastly, 4) a succession plan is set as finance plan, leadership transformation plan and human-organization management plan. A total of 93 questionnaires is distributed and retrieved, and 88 questionnaires are used for the study, excluding those with missing data. As a result of this study, successors selected 1) the relationship with an incumbent C.E.O. as the most important priority in the first-tier. The second is 2) a successor 's management ability, the third is 3) a successor' s self-efficacy, and the last priority is 4) a succession plan. In particular, 3 sub-factors that make up the relationship with an incumbent are the most important factors. These factors rank the first to the third in the final result.

The previous researches on the succession plan have the limitation that it has focused on policies or systems at the government level to facilitate succession, or is limited to family companies. In this study, we would like to analyze the effect of the actual utilization of the succession system for small and medium-sized enterprises rather than the succession by direct families or the government's policies. We would also like to identify other situational factors that may affect this relationship to better understand the succession plan and its relationship with organizational performance. To this end, the analysis of 172 small and medium-sized enterprises in the Human Capital Enterprise Panel showed that the more practical the succession plan of small and medium-sized enterprises is used, the more positive the organizational performance is. These results suggest that small and medium-sized enterprisess succession plan can have a positive impact on organizational performance, such as implicit transfer and formation of positive impressions of companies. Furthermore, cooperative industrial relations strengthened the degree of utilization of succession plans and the positive relationship with organizational performance. Such results showed that the more cooperative the labor-management relations are, the more the successor can secure legitimacy in the process of succession planning based on trust between labor and management.

현재 우리나라는 인구의 도시집중과 주거용 건물의 부족으로 인하여 발생하는 주택부족문제는 현대산업사회에서 피할 수 없는 현상이 되고 있고, 1970년대 들어 대도시로의 인구집중과 함께 극심한 주택난을 겪게 되었다. 전국의 주택보급률은 국토교통부가 발간한 '2014년 국토교통통계연보'에 따르면103%(서울 97.5%, 경기 98.7%)에 이르러 주택의 공급측면에서 큰 문제가 없어 보이지만, 2014년 전국 자가 주택 거주율은 53.6%로 절반 정도의 가구가 타인 소유의 주택에서 임차인으로 거주하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 가장 큰 법률문제 중의 하나는 임차주택에서 임차인이 그 가족들과 모두 함께 안정된 생활을 하는 것이라고 볼 수 있는데 만약 임차인이 사망한 경우에 그동안 임차인과 함께 생활 해온 가족들이 종전과 마찬가지로 당해주택에서 주거를 계속할 수 있는가 하는 문제이다. 이에 대해 주택임대차보호법은 임차주택에서 가정공동생활을 하고 있는 자에게 임차인의 권리 및 의무를 승계하도록 인정하고 있다. 그러나 사망임차인과 동거해온 상속인이 아닌 사실상 혼인관계에 있는 자에 대해 상속인이 아니라는 이유로 선순위상속인이 당해주택의 명도를 청구할 수 있다면 이것은 사망임차인과 동거해온 가족으로서 심각한 사회적인 문제가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주택임대차보호법상 임차권승계와 관련하여 제기되고 있는 문제점을 검토하고 그에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
