Assessing the Successor Generation in Family Businesses
从家庭系统视角出发，探讨继任一代成员（子女及其配偶）的自主性、个体化、手足关系等维度，通过案例说明评估干预的价值，帮助理解继任过程中的关系动态。
When considering the succession process in family businesses, it is often useful to inquire into the relationships among all members of the successor generation: sons, daughters, and their spouses. Do members of the successor generation show evidence of autonomy and individuation, healthy sibling bonds, and acceptance of talent and leadership from within their generation? Do unresolved rivalries and dependency on parents paralyze their ability to cooperate? Using a Bowenian family systems approach, three important dimensions of differentiation in the successor generation are discussed. Several case vignettes illustrate the value of an assessment intervention.
