Intergenerational Leadership Practices in African Family Firms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The overall aim of this study was to review the publications on intergenerational leadership practices adopted by leaders in African family businesses in an effort to identify literature gaps. Scientific publications published in the field of leadership practices in family businesses were examined. With the help of VOSviewer, 101 publications from the Scopus database were analyzed to give a clear picture of literature reviewed. The major focus of this paper was on citation of authors, bibliographic coupling of country, and co-occurrence of key terms. The results highlighted that Redu Lefebvre, M. and Lefebvre, V. were the most cited authors in the field. Also, most of the studies were carried out in United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy, respectively. Lastly, the most studied concepts that are closely related to the current study are family business, family firms, leadership, and succession. Thus, the authors concluded that intergenerational leadership practices in family businesses have not been thoroughly reviewed especially in African contexts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
