Motives and Outcomes in Family Business Succession Planning
通过交叉分类继任者的两个主要动机（家族企业延续与家族和谐），提出四种继任规划类型及其对应结果，揭示了被忽视的“强加”与“个性化”两种结果。
The family business succession planning literature routinely assumes two main motives on the part of incumbents: family business continuity across generations and family harmony. The cross–tabulation of these motives produces a typology consisting of four distinct combinations of motives for succession planning. In turn, these combinations suggest four outcomes of succession planning, framed as institutionalization, implosion, imposition, and individualization. The first two outcomes—institutionalization and implosion—are fully elucidated in the literature. The other two—imposition and individualization—are routinely overlooked. The proposed typology highlights the repertoire of motives that inform succession planning, and how they promote distinct succession outcomes.
