CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION  
1.1    Background of the Study
Before organizations started developing interest in management succession in the mid 1950s, it was discovered that those who were supposed to take over future executive position were into properly train and ready for action. This resulted in the emergence of managers lacking managerial skills which led to declare in the profitability and sales turnover of those organizations, coupled with increase in labour turnover. These and more prompted the research to examine the effect of management succession in the sustainability of organizational productivity of organizational productivity.
Ile (2010:234), opines that management has a special role to play in an organization. As a matter of fact, management has its own stake in the organization. All employees do of course, but management is responsible for the organization as a whole a responsibility that of ten requires dealing with multiple stakeholders and balancing conflicting claims shareholders, for example want large returns, while consumers want more investment on research and development employee want higher wages and better benefits, while  local communities want parks and  day care facilities. To ensure that survival of the organization, management keeps the relationship among key stakeholders in balance over both short and long terms.
Nwachukwu (2013:64), states that the development of the management is the development of the management is the growth of the organization partly depends in the management, as they make vital decision that affect the organization Barker (2014:52), supports the view of Nwachukwu, when he said that human resources is the wealth of the nation. He further stated that over a given period of time, some personnel will retire many will be promoted and theirs may die on leave concurrently some jobs and functions may have to be vacant leading to a break in the sustainability of organizational productivity.
In the words of Collins (2009:63) management succession is a process of identifying those jobs considered to be at the core of the organization, too critical to be left vacant or filled by any but the best qualified persons and then creating a strategy play to fill them with experienced and capable employees. Trapiano (2011:108), opines that management succession is an activity that focuses on manpower planning, success and creates an effective process for recognizing, developing and retaining top leadership talent. It is important to note that strategic management succession is about talents. The organization needs now, rather, it is projecting the talents knowledge, skill and competencies needed for the future of an organization.
Coventry and Barleck (2009:54) submitted that “it is always the duty of the top management top provides for its own continuity, through effective planning for succession usually, little or no thought is given to executive needs of the future with consequent failure to provide a management development programme which is an in dispensible means of building true and dedicated terms of professionals for future needs. It is based on this backdrop that the research wants to examine effect of management succession on the sustainability of organization productivity, using Enugu State Housing Development Corporation as a study

When the when the experienced Chief Executive Officer (CEO) dies, the organizations are usually taken by surprise as a result of the ill preparedness of those to take over. This could be in the area of training and experience and this has affected most organizations negatively in terms of profitability.  
The rate of employee turnover of some organizations has gone high as a result of unplanned managerial succession. This is because the employees are not usually comfortable with the new person in charge.
As a result of unplanned managerial succession, in some organizations, their customers usually divert to patronizing their competitors.
