The Impact of Family Dynamics on Structure and Process in Family Foundations
通过对六家家族基金会的访谈案例研究,发现家族动态影响组织结构、拨款流程、董事会连续性及互动,且发展阶段(以创始人为起点)是理解运营的关键。
This article presents the findings of an interview case study of six family foundations. The study explored the impact of family dynamics on organizational structure, grant-making procedures, board continuity, and board and staff interaction. The core finding was that developmental stage—as measured by generation, beginning with the founder—is of critical importance in understanding the operations of family foundations. The article concludes with a series of hypotheses for future research.
