Abstract
In this paper, we place a magnifying glass above a special type of corporates in

the Norwegian economy; the family firms. Specifically, we evaluate the CEO

position and inspect factors affecting successions and tenure within these firms.

We explore the Centre for Corporate Governance Research (CCGR) data over

non-listed firms between year 2000 and 2015 and utilize the proceeding in our

survival analysis to examine corporate governance in these complex entities.

Using theories on family firms and econometric techniques we both present and

discuss results provided by this empirical research. We find that ownership and

family relations are the most important determinant of survivability of CEOs in

Norwegian family firms. Our results show that family related CEOs survives

longer than their counterparts. They consistently own a large fraction of the firms

they manage, regardless of firm size. Moreover, indication of nepotism is also

found in large firms as they tend to prefer family CEOs in most cases. We do

however, not find evidence that large family firm CEOs have longer tenure

compared to small family firm CEOs.
