This article explores the family business transfer process in Africa, focusing on Senegalese practices. We use the process developed by Cadieux (2004) to analyse nine cases of business legacy. Based on this theoretical framework, our results are based on the coexistence of the formal and informal sectors in particular the lack of preparation for the transfer (lack of a relief plan) and different attitudes towards the process itself, in terms of initiation (selection of the successor by filiation, heredity or merit), of integration (empirical, Koranic or academic entry strategies for the successor) and of the exit conditions at different stages in the transition and exit conditions (withdrawal of the predecessor at the time of his/her own death). The features we reveal are such that they call for a contextualised analysis of the process. Thus, my theoretical contribution lies in our proposal for a succession process linked to Senegalese cultural influences.

AbstractI present an ethnographic model that relates culture and development to the migration process that has brought Senegalese to Andalusia. I criticize the official “aid for development” position, and examine the role of migrants residing in the receiving country. I show how the Senegalese Mourides in city of Seville are involved in the development of a social organizational model focused on the holy city of Touba in Senegal. Then, I look at the role that the Mouride brotherhood plays in the development of Senegal. I suggest that it is the impossible to speak of the notions of society of origin and society of destination as two differentiated spaces in the daily reality of the Senegalese immigrants. This is rather a transnational migration defined by the constant transit of people as well as material and symbolic goods between the here (Seville) and the there (Senegal).

The current research aims to identify exogeneous barriers that SMEs from developing countries have to face when they want to expand on international markets. The existing literature focuses on exogenous barriers in the host country to understand the challenges of internationalization of SMEs. Our research highlights that there are barriers in the home country, which can become major and slow down the international activity. These results allow the governments of developing countries to pay specific attention to their ecosystem in order to encourage international commitment.
