%X In a highly competitive market, the demands for new market positioning, redefinition of objectives and innovative concepts of business management make increasingly prominent leading companies define their competitive strategies to ensure long-term survival. An occurrence in the life of a business that can affect the strategy in companies, particularly characterized as family-run businesses, is the succession process, and the consequences that may result from this process require adaptive management in times of change. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify how the succession process occurs in small and medium-sized enterprises, characterized as family businesses. To this end, we studied three companies in the same sector of the economy, specifically, medical and dental product manufacturers within the industrial sector, using an exploratory method through case studies. Studies revealed coincident points in the three companies, the most striking being the occurrence of succession occurring by removal of the founder, whether for medical reasons or by death. We also address the issues concerning lack of a more elaborate planning for the succession process. The most significant changes were observed in the organizational structure of enterprises in the immediate aftermath of the founder＊s succession, when businesses undertook a new dynamic. En un mercado de alta competitividad, las exigencias de nuevos posicionamientos mercadol車gicos, redefiniciones de objetivos y concepciones innovadoras de administraci車n empresarial, son cada vez m芍s urgentes, llevando a las empresas a definir estrategias competitivas que garanticen su sobrevivencia a largo plazo. Una ocurrencia en la vida empresarial que puede afectar los rumbos de la estrategia en las empresas, particularmente en las caracterizadas como familiares, es el proceso de sucesi車n, y las consecuencias que pueden surgir de este proceso necesitan de una gesti車n adaptable a los momentos de cambio. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es aclarar c車mo el proceso de sucesi車n ocurre en las peque as y medianas empresas caracterizadas como empresas familiares. Para ello, fueron estudiadas tres empresas de un mismo sector de la econom赤a, m芍s espec赤ficamente empresas del sector industrial de los fabricantes de productos m谷dicos y odontol車gicos, a trav谷s de una investigaci車n exploratoria utilizando estudios de caso. Los estudios revelaron puntos coincidentes en las tres empresas, pudi谷ndose resaltar la ocurrencia de la sucesi車n del fundador siempre a partir de que el mismo se aparta, sea por su fallecim
