Clarice Bertin analyses the challenges of business succession for La Semaine magazine

“Business succession receives less media coverage than business start-ups”, an interview with Clarice Bertin, senior lecturer at ICN Business School and researcher at BETA, published on 23 July 2026 by La Semaine as part of a feature on business succession.

During this interview, Clarice Bertin discusses the challenges associated with generational succession among business leaders and emphasises the need to provide better support for and promote business takeover projects. In particular, she points out that business succession is a major issue for the preservation of expertise, employment and the economic vitality of local areas.

Clarice Bertin also calls for greater visibility for business takeovers, which are still too often overshadowed by business start-ups, even though they represent a genuine opportunity for development and innovation.
