The Succession Process from a Resource- and Knowledge-Based View of the Family Firm
运用资源基础理论和知识基础观,分析家族企业继任过程中继任者如何有效获取前任的关键知识与技能,以维持和提升企业绩效,并形成相对于非家族企业的竞争优势。
A major challenge facing the family firm is the succession process. One reason for this challenge might involve the successor's ability to acquire the predecessor's key knowledge and skills adequately to maintain and improve the organizational performance of the firm. This paper uses two theoretical approaches from the strategic management field to explore this critical process and analyze how it can be managed effectively: the resource-based theory of the firm and the emergent knowledge-based view. This conceptual framework provides a powerful tool for understanding the nature and transfer of knowledge within the family business, which becomes the basis for developing competitive advantage over nonfamily businesses.
