Description
Summary:This case study sheds light on the dynamics of a father-daughter relationship at Talah Aljood, a family firm located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Within family firms, in such patriarchal contexts, the engagement of daughters is less visible compared to that of sons. The family's awareness of gender equality and their willingness to adopt it are important for supporting their daughters and sons, and for empowering them. This case examines the father's hesitant succession planning and how this relates to empowering his daughter to manage and lead the family firm.
