Warren Buffett's successor Greg Abel seen preserving Berkshire's culture

OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) -When Greg Abel succeeds Warren Buffett at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of this year, he is expected to preserve the culture at the behemoth even if he does not match the star power of his legendary boss. Abel, 62, now a Berkshire vice chairman, is expected by investors and analysts to uphold the $1.18 trillion conglomerate's track record of investing in companies for the long haul and eschewing dividend payments to shareholders. Berkshire, which owns railroads, insurance companies and an ice-cream maker, has been planning for decades for the eventuality when Buffett, 94, who has run the company since 1965, is no longer there.
