Abstract: Abstract At the end of World War II, Brazil received many families of Italian immigrants. In 1960s, some of these Italian families were to glass factory segment in the city of Poços de Caldas, in Minas Gerais, inspired by the know-how of Murano Island. This qualitative research examined the history of four of these families, focusing in succession aspect; it is a multiple case study it was used a semi structured questionnaire answered by board members of companies. The interest was to seek an alignment in the succession process that can be applied in future studies in other companies, in the same segment, in other localities. The results show that two of the four companies had the first succession process started and stopped by their founders; the third company encourages its successors reconcile other activities with the core business of the organization, without the succession process has officially begun; and the fourth organization, has already started the second process of succession, with the founders and the first generation still active. The different outcomes are shown centered: the intention of the founder, artistic dependence and matching of skills of the heirs to the company’s identity.
