Abstract

This article presents facts related to the succession in the family company MOVELART's, in Santana do Livramento / RS. Beginning with Bornholdt's theory (2005, p. 72), he mentions that the succession process is, above all, the development of the ability to lead and that the earlier the "initiation" in the organization, the easier the process of enculturation, the objective of this study was to analyze the perception of the family and the employees regarding the continuity of the management of MOVELART'S company in the period of family succession. Data collection was carried out in the second half of 2017, through a descriptive research with a qualitative approach to determine the characteristics of the study population, containing reports of the owner and his successors. For this, a case study was used as method. As an instrument of data collection, an interview was conducted with the founder and his successors and the application of a questionnaire containing six closed and objective questions for the company's employees. It is noteworthy that succession in this company was something that happened naturally, because the son and successor in addition to the love for the profession inherited by the father, brought a strong sense of modernization and professionalization to and company with his sister and also heir to the business. However, for employees MOVELART's provides a good integration between owner and employee because everyone is free to express suggestions for improvements within the organization, often being rewarded by the improvement in the company's performance.
