Succession as a Risk Process in the Survival of a Family Business—Case of Slovakia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Generational transfer is a risky point in the life cycle of any family business, and thus the succession process should not be underestimated. Family businesses in Slovakia began to appear after 1989, and therefore many of them await the process of generational exchange in the coming years. For this reason, research on generational exchange has been limited. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the attitude of the owners of Slovak family businesses to the succession process and to reveal the key factors that positively or negatively affect this process. A semi-structured interview was selected as a tool for data collection, in which 74 family business owners took part. The findings were evaluated by the text mining method and afterwards transferred to a scatter diagram in concepts. Based on the clusters in the scatter plot, we revealed the key factors that the current owners consider to be a risk in successfully managing generational exchange. We found that only 48.64% of owners started the succession process, which proves the importance of solving the problem in Slovakia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
