🎙️✨ Welcome to “Revise and Resubmit”! The podcast where research papers don’t just sit on your shelf—they come alive, one theory, one story, one spark of curiosity at a time.
Today, we’re diving into a fascinating tale of legacy and reinvention—“Post-Succession Innovation in Family Businesses: Exploring the Tension Between Incumbent Imprinting and Successor Self-Determination” by Ludovica Del Barone, Maria Carmela Annosi, Evelyn Micelotta, and Filomena Buonocore.
🍽️ Imagine a bustling family bakery in the Netherlands—flour in the air, recipes whispered across generations. The founder imprinted not just tradition but a way of thinking. Then, one day, the successor steps in—full of ambition, ideas, and self-determination. What happens next? Innovation takes shape in four flavors—Inherited, Ancillary, Synergistic, and Detached.
💡 Published in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice—a prestigious FT50 journal from SAGE Publications, released October 14, 2025—this study unwraps how successors negotiate the invisible tug-of-war between past and possibility.
👩🔬 From structural and behavioral imprinting to Self-Determination Theory, this isn’t just business succession—it’s human psychology meeting entrepreneurial renewal.
So here’s the burning question for today 🔥: When you inherit a legacy, are you bound by its blueprint—or free to redraw it entirely? 🤔
🙏 Huge thanks to the authors and SAGE Publications for this thought-provoking work, and to Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice for advancing cutting-edge scholarship in entrepreneurship research.
