Their challenges in doing so include: what, to whom, when, and how to transfer this wealth. The decisions made and actions taken will impact behavior and performance as well as the type and amount of wealth eventually transferred. The articles and commentaries in this special issue address some of these challenges, specifically the what of family firm legacy, the who of willing intra\textendash family successors, and the how of both family and business destabilization and re-stabilization after a major strategic move as illustrated by internationalization.
