Résumé
La succession est l’un des volets ayant le plus été étudié en contexte d’entreprises familiales. Pourtant, bien que l’on évalue à plus de 33 % la part des entreprises appartenant à des femmes, à notre connaissance, aucune étude ne s’est encore intéressée à la problématique dans leur cas. En conséquence, l’objectif de cet article est d’expliquer comment deux champs de recherche jusqu’ici séparés peuvent être complémentaires dans la manière d’aborder la problématique de la succession en général. Il s’agit donc d’un exercice de réflexion qui, somme toute, soulève un débat d’actualité sur l’état de nos connaissances sur les femmes entrepreneures en contexte d’entreprises familiales et qui se verront bientôt confrontées à une problématique de taille, celle de la succession.

Abstract
Succession is one of the most studied aspects of family businesses. However, while it has been estimated that more than 33 % of such organizations are owned by women, to our knowledge no studies have yet to focus on succession in them. The objective of the present paper is therefore to show how two fields of research that have until now been separated can come together to provide insight into how to approach the problem of succession in general. It is intended to provide food for thought on a subject that is currently under discussion, i.e. what we know today about women who manage family-owned businesses and who will soon be confronted with a sizeable problem, that of succession.
Resumen
La sucesión es uno de los aspectos que más se ha estudiado en el contexto de empresas familiares. Sin embargo, aunque se ha evaluado en más del 33 % de las empresas pertenecientes a mujeres, a nuestro conocimiento, nadie se interesa todavía en la problemática del caso. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este artículo es explicar cómo dos campos de investigación hasta ahora separados pueden ser complementarios en la forma de abordar la problemática de la sucesión en general. Se trata entonces de un ejercicio de reflexión que, en suma, propicia un debate de actualidad acerca del estado de nuestros conocimientos sobre las mujeres empresarias en el contexto de empresas familiares y que se verán muy pronto confrontradas a una problemática de gran dimensión, la de la sucesión.
Zusammenfassung
Die Nachfolgeregelung zählt zu den am meisten untersuchten Gebieten im Zusammenhang mit den Familienunternehmen. Obwohl mehr als 33 % der Unternehmen Frauen gehören, hat nach unserer Kenntnis, keine Studie sich bis jetzt dieser Problematik gewidmet. Daraus erfolgte das Ziel dieses Artikels, nämlich zu klären, wie zwei sich bis jetzt getrennte Untersuchungsgebiete ergänzen können, um das Nachfolgeproblem allgemein zu erörtern.
Es handelt sich also um eine Überlegungsübung, die eine aktuelle Auseinan-dersetzung unterstreicht, und zwar über unsere Kenntnisse von Unternehmerfrauen in Familienunternehmen, welche sich oft mit der Nachfolgeregelung konfrontiert sehen.
