Emerging need for unlearning during SMTFFs transitions
| Exemplary quotes | First order themes | Second order themes |
|---|---|---|
| “For the whole first year, my sister wasn’t taken seriously… They’d say, ‘I don’t have a successor.’ And she’d ask, ‘What about your daughter?’ ‘No, oh God, she can’t, she can work the front desk, but nothing more.’” (Interview 3) | Beliefs and routines related to gendered roles | Emerging need for unlearning |
| “My brother and I were equals, we both worked shifts. But people told me, as a single mother, that I shouldn’t be working evenings. Wouldn’t it be better to just find a man and stay at home?” (Interview 4) | ||
| “We don’t have a single female employee who returns to work full-time… you’re basically condemned for it. Because why would you have children as a woman if you’re not going to be there for them?” (Interview 7) | ||
| “People are always looking for THE boss, asking to speak to THE boss – never the female boss – even though my mom is just as present as my dad”. (Interview 5) | ||
| “Even though my mother always tried to treat everyone equally… we still fall into these entrenched roles… when my son started school, there was the classic family model: he came home and said, ‘Father, mother, child.’” (Interview 4) | ||
| “Someone builds a company over years, and then the market collapses… just tries to squeeze the sand tighter… no attempt to change anything, just more of the same”. (Interview 6) | Path dependency patterns | |
| “It’s basically your childhood home… as a kid, you’re always emotionally attached to that house… And that really plays a big role in whether kids take it over or not”. (Interview 8) | ||
| “Tradition isn’t about worshipping the ashes, it’s about preserving the fire. And sometimes you have to throw another log on the fire, add something so the fire keeps burning”. (Interview 9) | ||
| “Ideas and creativity no longer emerge because you are not free in your thinking… there is pressure or dependency in One direction”. (Interview 1) |
