Empirically, a qualitative research was carried out in this large company. We analyzed the empirical corpus using the Bourdieusian perspective and a Linguistic Analysis of Discourse. Our data show that the succession of executives in organizations is much more than a simple exchange of agents. Succession, as a game of power relations, involves planning, cunning, knowledge of the field, a certain domain of illusio, doxa and nomos, and use of capital. This power play can involve manipulations and bluffs. In a way, we have observed that the use of the Bourdieusian categories helped us to better understand this game in the field of administration of large family businesses.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Revista Interdisciplinar de Gestão Social}, author={Vaz, Samir Lotfi and Perdigão, Denis Alves and Carrieri, Alexandre de Pádua}, year={2020}, month={jan.} }
