The Golden Nugget is a family business that serves authentic Chinese cuisine in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was founded by a couple from Hong Kong, China, Alan Chan and Sandra Ng in 1957. This case is based on the succession issue facing Brian, the second-generation owner-manager of The Golden Nugget. Despite Brian's efforts to expose his children, niece and nephew to the business, he realised that none of the third generations showed an interest in taking over the family business. Upon discussion, Brian found three reasons (1) own goals and desires vs family confiict, (2) fear of sacrificing their freedom and (3) lack of work-life balance.
