Governance practices for the succession process in family businesses

This book aims to identify and describe how governance practices can help the succession process in a family business. The RBS Group was the focus of the study, for being a family company that has already gone through three succession processes, thus enabling its analysis under the highlighted points. It was identified that the company presents practices of corporate governance, such as, for instance, the boards of directors, family and shareholders, which conduct its development and contribute to the perpetuity of the enterprise, as well as it has proven to adapt to the requirements of good governance practices, facing each of the succession processes that it has undergone. The concern of the group’s management with the individuality of each dimension (family, company and property) and how they relate to each other in the organizational environment is highlighted, so that all dimensions have the same relevance and prerogatives.
