Specifika nástupnictví z otce na dceru v českých rodinných firmách

The aim of this thesis is to explore the specifics, benefits, and risks associated with the process of transferring leadership in family businesses from fathers to daughters within the Czech context, particularly in male-dominated industries such as manufacturing and engineering. The research was conducted using qualitative methods, specifically semi-structured interviews with six female successors who assumed leadership roles in their family firms. The analysis revealed that the long-term preparation of daughters for leadership, their diplomatic role in family dynamics, and the formalization of company values significantly contribute to a successful transition. The study also identified gender-specific challenges in male-oriented industries and highlighted the potential for these challenges to be transformed into strategic advantages. The findings provide practical recommendations for systematic succession planning, fostering mentoring relationships, and modernizing corporate culture. The results extend existing theories by contributing new insights into the harmonization of work and family relationships and strengthening the role of women in family businesses.
