Résumé
Cette recherche vise à comprendre la dynamique des conflits dans un processus de succession familiale, en introduisant dans l’analyse le rôle joué par les structures familiales et leur contexte. Une étude qualitative longitudinale sur quatre ans est réalisée auprès de cinq entreprises familiales tunisiennes. Les résultats montrent en premier le rôle déterminant de la structure familiale, en particulier la place paradoxale du père tantôt source d’autorité et de stabilité, tantôt au coeur du conflit avec les successeurs vu son incapacité à lâcher prise. Le contexte socioculturel et la religion jouent également un rôle important dans la dynamique des conflits.

Abstract
This research aims to understand the dynamics of conflicts in a process of family succession, by introducing in the analysis the role played by the family structures and their context. A longitudinal qualitative study over four years is conducted with five Tunisian family businesses. The results first show the crucial role of the family structure, in particular the paradoxical place of the father, sometimes a source of authority and stability, sometimes at the heart of the conflict with the successors given his inability to let go. The socio-cultural context and religion also play an important role in the dynamics of conflict.
Keywords:
- family businesses,
- succession,
- conflict dynamics,
- family structure
Resumen
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender la dinámica de los conflictos en un proceso de sucesión familiar, introduciendo en el análisis el papel que juegan las estructuras familiares y su contexto. Se lleva a cabo un estudio cualitativo longitudinal durante cuatro años en cinco empresas familiares tunecinas. Los resultados muestran primero el papel determinante de la estructura familiar, en particular el lugar paradójico del padre, a veces fuente de autoridad y estabilidad, otras veces en el centro del conflicto con los sucesores dada su incapacidad para ceder responsabilidades. El contexto sociocultural y la religión también juegan un papel importante en la dinámica del conflicto.
