Résumé
La littérature dédiée à la succession des entreprises familiales s’intéresse essentiellement à la relation entre un prédécesseur et un successeur unique. Or dans la pratique, il est fréquent qu’une fratrie prenne la suite. En s’appuyant sur quatre cas de successions familiales québécoises, cet article s’intéresse à l’impact des parties prenantes externes à la famille (PPEF) dans la création et le fonctionnement d’une co-succession en fratrie. Nous classons ces PPEF en deux catégories : les permanentes et les occasionnelles. Nous montrons comment elles influencent la naissance de la succession en fratrie et en quoi elles représentent un facteur clé de succès dans le fonctionnement de la co-succession.
Mots-clés :
- succession,
- parties prenantes,
- fratrie,
- PME familiale
Abstract
Most of the literature on family firms’ succession only studied the relationship between predecessor and successor from a one-to-one perspective. However, in practice, it is common that more than one sibling take over the family firm. Based on four cases of family successions in Quebec, this article focuses on the impact of family external stakeholders (FES) in the establishment and operation of a sibling co-succession. We distinguish two categories of FES : permanent and occasional. We further examine their key role in the emergence and success of family firm transfers from controlling owner to sibling co-succession.
Keywords:

Resumen
La literatura en sucesión de empresas familiares se interesa esencialmente en la relación entre un predecesor y un sucesor único. Sin embargo, es común que más de un hijo tome el relevo. Apoyándonos sobre cuatro estudios de caso de sucesiones familiares quebequenses, nos enfocamos en el impacto de las partes-involucradas externas a la familia (PIEF) en la creación y el funcionamiento de una co-sucesión de hermanos. En este artículo hacemos la distinción entre PIEF permanentes y los ocasionales. Asimismo mostramos el impacto de las PEIF en el nacimiento de la co-sucesión y en el éxito en su funcionamiento.
