Succession







SUCCESSION IN OFFICE

See Also: Order of succession



In Politics , succession is the ascension to power by one Politician or Monarch after another, usually in a clearly defined order. See, for example:




POSITION OR ROLE SUCCESSION

See Also: Succession planning



In large corporations, companies, non-profit organizations and associations, temporary succession to elected positions may be specified in their Bylaw s. Permanent succession to elected positions is based on board or membership votes. Succession Planning for key Employee s or positions helps prevent disruption when a position becomes vacant.


LEGAL SUCCESSION: INHERITANCE OR HEIRSHIP


Succession of property at law covers the two distinct concepts of inheritance (a gift made by Will or other Testamentary document on death) and heirship, which applies where property passed to one or more dependants according to a formula set out in law, religion, custom or under the terms of a trust. Succession may also apply to artificial persons, usually through Corporate Merger s or reorganizations.


MUSICAL SUCCESSION


In Music or Musical Set Theory , a succession is a series of any musical parameters including Pitch es, Pitch Class es, or Simultaneities (see Simultaneity Succession ). ''Succession'' may be thought of as a more general term for any possible progression, as in Chord Progression or Harmonic progression, though not all simultaneity successions are harmonic progressions.


ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION

See Also: Ecological succession


Ecological succession refers to the often predictable series of changes in an Ecological Community over time after a disturbance, such as a fire, hurricane, or a small-scale disturbance such as a tree explosion.


URBAN SUCCESSION

Drawing from the concept of ecological succession, urban geographers have noted that many urban areas can be described with a similar model of "urban succession." For example, as neighbourhoods mature, old houses get replaced by condominiums and town houses, which in turn eventual develop into higher density housing. Nevertheless, there are inherent problems with this model as many exceptions exist.
