“…Other studies have examined strategies for succession planning in South Asian firms, including the idea of a "good conversation" between generations in order to achieve effective business succession (Janjuha-Jivraj andWoods, 2002a, 2002b). Furthermore, it is critical to highlight the role of women -given that they are "silent contributors" within many BME owned family firms (Dhaliwal, 2000) and also since they are often not considered by founders (i.e. their fathers) to be appropriate successors more generally across the business population (Martin, 2001).…”

“…Although there have been a number of studies of ethnic minority family firms -and ethnic minority business in general -which address, in most cases, the issue of succession (for example, Bachkaniwala et al, 2001;Basu, 2004;Basu and Altinay, 2002;Bhalla et al, 2006;Crick and Chaudhury, 2004;Dhaliwal, 2000;Dhaliwal and Kangis, 2006;Deakins et al, 2005;Janjuha-Jivraj, 2004;Janjuha-Jivraj andWoods, 2002a, 2002b;Metcalf et al, 1996;Ram and Jones, 2002), none has addressed the role of enterprise education. This paper is the first that relates the younger generation"s participation in enterprise education to the ownership succession process.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact that entrepreneurship education can have on succession in ethnic minority family firms that operate in the highly competitive UK economy. Design/methodology/approach -The paper employs a complex conceptual model of ethnic minority graduates' economic activities and outlines the possible influence that entrepreneurship education can have on succession in their family firms. An illustrative case study is presented of an ethnic minority graduate who returned to work in the family firm. Findings -It emerges that entrepreneurship education provision in UK HEIs is insufficiently customised to, and focused on, the specific entrepreneurial needs of graduates. Educators should take into account the complex socio-economic and cultural differences between native and ethnic minority learning environments. Effective entrepreneurship education emerges as crucial to the survival and growth of ethnic minority family businesses in the UK and could contribute positively to ownership transfer in this type of firm.Research limitations/implications -The proposed theoretical model has not been empirically tested and it is only indicative of the impact that entrepreneurship education could have on succession in small ethnic minority family businesses in the UK. Originality/value -Although prior research has explored various aspects of ownership succession, this article focuses specifically on the impact that entrepreneurship education can have on succession in small ethnic minority family firms.
