The Next Generation - Family Business The transition from one generation to the next can make or break a family business; and as the ‘baby boomers’ hand over to the ‘millennials’, the risks of getting it wrong have never been greater. PwC interviewed over 200 next generation family business leaders in 21 countries worldwide. The survey looks specifically at the issue of succession: how family firms are planning for it, how the next generation views it, and the challenges all family firms face in implementing it.
