The influence of transgenerational succession intentions on the succession planning process: The moderating role of high-quality relationships Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
Socioemotional wealth (SEW) is an important point of reference for decision-making in family firms. This study shows that the SEW dimension of renewing family bonds through dynastic succession is positively related to the level of succession planning in a family firm. However, the link between the intention for transgenerational succession and the existence of such planned processes does not appear to be as straightforward as predicted. ...
Succession stage variation in population size in an early-successional herb in a peri-urban forest Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Urban and peri-urban forests incur high anthropogenic pressures (e.g. recreational activities, artificialization, and eutrophication). Plant species from early-successional, transient, forest habitats, often characterized by a short life span and a persistent seed bank in the soil may differ from late-successional species in key-factors for population persistence. This study investigated variation in population size and seedling recruitment for ...
Family Characteristics as Determinant of Succession Planning Universiteit Hasselt
Even though succession planning ensures continuity of the firm, many family firms leave succession planning to chance. In our study, we investigate the potential drivers of the extent of succession planning based on a wide scale survey conducted at private family firms in Belgium. Contrary to previous studies in the field assuming that succession is largely under control of the incumbent leader of the family firm, we focus on family ...
Ownership Succession Financing and Firm Growth: a Multiple Mediator Approach Universiteit Hasselt
Drawing upon the (Behavioral) Agency Model, we build a conceptual model that provides detailed theoretical explanations regarding the effect of ownership succession financing on post-succession growth of private family firms. In particular, relationships among the succession financing choice (independent variable), post-succession growth (dependent variable), risk taking (mediating variable), payout (mediating variable) and corporate governance ...
ANALYSIS OF MANGROVE FOREST SUCCESSION, USING SEDIMENT CORES: A CASE STUDY IN THE CANANÉIA –IGUAPE COASTAL SYSTEM, SÃO PAULO-BRAZIL Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sediment cores are an essential tool for the analysis of the dynamics of mangrove succession. Coring was
used to correlate changes in depositional environments and lateral sedimentary facies with discrete stages of
forest succession at the Cananéia-Iguape Coastal System in southeastern Brazil. A local level successional
pattern was examined based on four core series T1) a sediment bank; T2) a smooth cordgrass Spartina

An exploration of the role of intuitive forms of planning in the succession process: the explanatory power of effectuation theory Universiteit Hasselt
Purpose This study explores how and when intuitive forms of planning can be used in a family firm's succession process. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an extended focus group meeting, consisting of individual, group and subgroup discussions with seven highly experienced external family business advisors in the Netherlands to gain a holistic understanding of the succession process and its underlying logic. The study also employs pre- ...
Long-term recovery of the functional community assembly and carbon pools in an African tropical forest succession Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Gent
Abstract On the African continent, the population is expected to expand fourfold in the next century, which will increasingly impact the global carbon cycle and biodiversity conservation. Therefore, it is of vital importance to understand how carbon stocks and community assembly recover after slash-and-burn events in tropical second growth forests. We inventoried a chronosequence of 15 1-ha plots in lowland tropical forest of the central Congo ...
CEO succession and the CEO's commitment to the status quo Vlerick Business School
Chief executive officer (CEO) commitment to the status quo (CSQ) is expected to play an important role in any firm’s strategic adaptation. CSQ is used often as an explanation for strategic change occurring after CEO succession: new CEOs are expected to reveal a lower CSQ than established CEOs. Although widely accepted in the literature, this relationship remains imputed but unobserved. We address this research gap and analyze whether new CEOs ...
Does energy dissipation increase with ecosystem succession? Testing the ecosystem exergy theory combining theoretical simulations and thermal remote sensing observations KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The ecosystem exergy theory is an ecosystem succession theory based on thermodynamics and hypothesizes that energydissipationincreases with ecosystem maturity. It was developed along with a number of specially designed dissipation indicators, derived from thermal remote sensing. The theory provides an interesting method for the rapid evaluation of the degree of naturalness and/or the maturity of an ecosystem, e.g. in land use impact assessment ...
