The Role of Selected Team Design Elements in Successful Sibling Teams
识别了家族企业文献中常见的团队设计要素，并实证检验了它们对南非家族企业中兄弟姐妹团队有效性的影响，发现物质资源、技能多样性和战略领导力是成功的关键，而角色清晰度和能力则不是。
For any team to function effectively, several basic elements need to be present. The extent to which these elements are present increases the chances of a successful team outcome. Since a family business can be viewed as a type of team, the literature on how to design effective teams is also relevant to business families. The primary objectives of this study are to identify the team design elements commonly referred to in the family business literature and to empirically test their influence on the effectiveness of South African sibling teams in family businesses. The empirical findings of this preliminary study show that physical resources, skills diversity, and strategic leadership are important determinants of sibling team success whereas role clarity and competence are not.
