Edition changes: Licensed narrative text edition. Original headings, paragraphs and references are preserved with normalized whitespace and layout. Figures, tables, display equations and separately licensed third-party material are not reproduced; use the linked original full text for those elements and definitive pagination. This is an attributed republication, not newly conducted research.
Evidence limits: Cross-sectional self-report associations do not establish causation or actual succession success. The outcome is orientation toward keeping a business in family hands, not observed continuity, returns or successor competence. Predominantly small Austrian operating firms; application to global multi-asset family offices is an extrapolation.
