Would somebody tell me where can I find the definition of Sucession plan in place?

Question

I am doing a report so I need references...

Answer 1

Succession is the action of one party, person or product being replaced by another that has become obsolete, incapacitated, retired or deceased. Ideally, a successor will fill the role of its predecessor, being fully compatible with all other entities in place and perfectly functional without any interruption in service.
