Abstract: Abstract Rob Simmons provided the initial research for this case. Pablo Brezman prepared the case with Alan L. Carsrud and Malin Brännback. This case focuses on the challenges of losing family employees and the impact that has on both the firm and the family. This case also shows the issues of when a family becomes extended and multiple branches are involved that the “succession crisis” is really the outgrowth of other issues and often becomes a threat to the existence of the family firm because of external threats from competition.
