Incongruent Hierarchies: Daughters and Younger Sons as Company CEOs
研究了家族企业中女儿或幼子担任CEO时面临的自我认同和家庭角色期望冲突，通过访谈揭示了他们如何应对这种不协调的等级关系。
The daughter or younger son who becomes head of the family business must struggle with both self-identity and changing family role expectations. How do they do this? Father CEO: My oldest son is the nicest guy in the world and expects to become president of the company. But, my second son would be better. I also have a younger daughter in the business. I don't know what to do. I've told the kids they may have to decide. Daughter CEO: From the time I became president eleven years after I joined the company, I was competing with my father—not from my side but from his side. Then the family struggle really started, particularly when my older brother wanted to join the business. Younger brother CEO: I can't replace him, because he's my older brother, and I have to think my way out of it, or we may have a confrontation.
