The purpose of the study is to get some insights from existing studies on how the planning of succession is done in the Education Sector. A review of 47 articles published in different journals was used to analyze the process and effectiveness of succession planning. This study finds that the major competencies required to be in a predecessor are risk-taking, open-mindedness, motivation, trustworthiness, communication skills, and value orientation. The paper concentrated on the process, timing, and experience of succession planning around the family firms only excluding the other non-family firms. The study suggested the scholars think about other factors like experience, educational parameters, intention to work, and the social perspective that may affect succession planning.
