This study exploreshow differing perspectives between successors and predecessors influence the succession processwithin Hungarian family firms undergoing intra-family transition. Building on two in-depth case studies,the research adopts a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with both predecessors andsuccessors in each firm exploring how different perspectives can foster change in managementtakeover. Findings reveal generational tension between successors’ openness and innovative orientationtoward digital transformation and predecessors’ moderate, often cautious, stance shaped by tradition,proven practices, and perceived risks of rapid technological adoption. Despite these divergences, thestudy identifies mechanisms of reconciliation, such as innovation, shared learning, and mutual trust,which enable smoother digital improvement during succession. The analysis contributes to theunderstanding of how family firms can balance continuity and renewal by integrating differingdigitalisation mindsets across generations. The study offers theoretical and practical insights into theinterplay between technological attitudes and succession dynamics, emphasising the need forintergenerational dialogue and adaptive leadership to ensure long-term competitiveness in the era ofdigital transformation challenges. true true 2026 false true true false true false GOLD 2026-07-09 false https://uni-bge.hu/en/prosperitas 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 D hazai false false false false 2026-06-15T11:21:07.564+0000 Vállalkozás- és Gazdálkodástudományi Doktori Is...
