通过案例展示了家族企业所有权信托对企业和家族系统的瘫痪性影响，揭示了权威关系失调和继任过程受阻，并指出信托使已故创始人有效保留控制权，对家族企业理论与实践有启示。
This article shows the key role of the ownership system in the healthy development of the family business. Specifically, the analysis focuses on a case in which the ownership of a family business is held in trust. The paralyzing impact of this ownership arrangement on the business and family systems is described, revealing dysfunction in authority relations in general and succession processes in particular. An interpretation is offered to suggest that the trust has allowed the founder, long dead, to effectively retain control. The resulting diagnosis yields several implications for the development of family business theory and practice.
