The Family Factor: The Impact of Family Relationship Dynamics on Business-Owning Families during Transitions
通过三个纵向案例研究，初步探讨了家族企业在所有权代际转移（父子传承）过程中，家族关系动态的性质、特征及其对任务管理的影响，并提出了焦虑源及其管理模型。
This paper presents preliminary findings from three longitudinal case studies forming part of ongoing doctoral research into the activities and dynamics of business-owning families as they address the tasks and issues required during their succession processes. Specifically, the paper qualitatively explores the nature, characteristics, and effects of family relationship dynamics in three family business systems undertaking the transfer of controlling ownership to the next generation (from father to son). A model is presented to describe the sources of anxiety “imperatives” and their management during transition processes. Conclusions are drawn about the characteristics of emotional dynamics in business-owning families and how these can, over time, hinder or help families manage these tasks.
