The study adopted the survey research method, making use of structured questionnaire as instruments for data collection. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and the simple linear regression. It was found that succession management through well-conceived competitive intelligence positively affected the growth of SMEs; technological advancements positively affected competitive advantage of SMEs. It was, therefore, concluded that succession management through competitive intelligence and technological advancement positively affected the sustainability of SMEs through firm growth and competitive advantage. The study recommended that for SMEs to be sustained and enhance its operational life span, effective succession management should be adopted growth and competitive advantage.

At the same time, its impact on the world economy, with short - and long-term difficulties for business, is growing exponentially. Significant tasks in almost all organizations have been suspended or postponed indefinitely. Managers have adapted to the role of a “virtual manager” and have come to terms with the fact that their colleagues work “elsewhere” and “independently.” COVID-19 reality has made it a priority for organizations to move work from office to home, take care of employee health and protect employees from the spread of the virus. E-mail, messengers, and video-conferencing platforms have replaced work and face-to-face communication with colleagues. Thus, in the context of the economic crisis and pandemic, modern management needs a study that takes into account the role and significance of specific emotions in managerial and socio-economic processes. \u0000 \u0000 Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":109875,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Management and Marketing Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123814684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A resposta a esta questão está por encontrar. Da aceitação da definição de família empresária irá depender a evolução do negócio familiar, a liderança e sucessão da família ou a divisão da herança. Através da revisão de literatura, com recurso aos conceitos de campo, habitus e capital simbólico, apresenta-se uma proposta exploratória de tipologia de família empresária. Esta aponta para um sistema aberto, intergeracional, com um perímetro de geometria variável, com fluxos de entrada e de saída no sistema, seja por causas naturais ou por razões de ordem social. Assim, são geradas combinatórias sempre originais, podendo torná-la potencialmente disfuncional e geradora de conflitos intermembros e/ou intraclãs.

This proposal points to an open, intergenerational system with a variable geometry perimeter. This perimeter includes an input and output flows system, either for natural reasons or for social reasons. Thus, we have the generation of original combinations, which can be potentially dysfunctional and generating inter or intra clan conflicts.
