- Summary:
- This business case examines a small family-owned healthcare institution in Egypt in order to address the complex dynamics surrounding family business governance, ownership structure, succession planning, and internal conflicts influenced by cultural and generational tensions. Al Hadidy Hospital was established by the Al Hadidy family patriarch, Adham Al Hadidy (all names disguised to protect privacy). Now managed day-to-day by his eldest son, Alaa, the hospital is facing significant challenges. Despite its historical success, the hospital is struggling under the shadow of its founder's dominating presence and rigid decision-making processes, which are particularly evident in the exclusion of female family members and younger generations from strategic participation. Succession issues are also becoming prominent with the third generation, as Nour, Alaa's daughter and a promising business school student, has emerged as a primary candidate willing to assume leadership. However, Nour's lack of medical background, coupled with resistance from older family members largely related to conservative cultural biases, complicates her path to leadership. This case provides students with the opportunity to critically analyze how governance structures, succession planning, transparency, and cultural biases affect the sustainability and growth of family-owned enterprises.
