Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the influence of succession planning and succession control on the successful transition of leadership in the family business Ropikoh Tailor. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews with the first-generation owner. The study explores the succession process, which began with the second generation’s involvement in business operations, supported by formal education and structured knowledge transfer from the first generation. The findings reveal that successful succession is highly dependent on well-designed planning, intensive communication, the development of successor competencies, and the reinforcement of organizational cultural values such as quality and customer loyalty. Despite challenges including the initially low motivation of the second generation the strategic direction and mentoring provided by the first generation effectively ensured business continuity. This study recommends increasing second-generation engagement through more intensive training and the creation of a supportive work environment to strengthen long-term sustainability of the family business.
