The purpose of this case is to facilitate the learning, reflection, and discussion of CEO succession planning including both the selection and integration processes. This case provides a real context in which students can learn, analyze and discuss succession planning in a real-world context. More specifically, students are introduced to best practices in successful CEO searches and subsequent CEO integration. This analysis is done in the context of The Hershey Company’s search for a new CEO. By providing a real context and framework for succession planning, the reader is not only able to learn the best practices of succession planning, but consider those practices in the context of a specific scenario.
Keywords: succession planning, chief executive officer, board of directors, executive search, integration planning.
