    Letonja, Marina, 1959- ; Duh, Mojca
    Purpose - The main purpose of the research is to increase our understanding of the factors which affect innovativeness of successors in smaller family firms (SFF) and what is the role of the founder ... in strengthening (deterioration) of successorsʹ innovativeness. Design/methodology/approach - We research which factors affect - supportive or dampening - innovativeness of the next generation, and as well, if the innovation potential of the founder can be transferred to the next generation. Especially we study effect of knowledge transfer on innovativeness of successors. Therefore, the research questions are: Why and how transfer of experiential knowledge and routine knowledge of founders affects innovativeness of successors? Why and how academic knowledge on the field of entrepreneurship affect innovativeness of successors? Why and how external working experiences affect innovativeness of successors? We adopted a qualitative empirical research approach - using multiple-case study research method where replication logic was possible. Originality/value - The originality and the value of the paper lies in the identification of factors affecting successorsʹ innovativeness; we limit our research on those factors which are tightly linked to the knowledge and knowledge transfer during a succession process. Practical implications - The empirical findings will have practical implications for key stakeholders in the SFF succession process and provide basis for a broader empirical research.
