Family Dynamic and Family Business Financial Performance: Spousal Commitment
认为家族企业的生存部分取决于配偶的承诺，提出模型和可检验假设，指导研究配偶承诺的前因后果，对创业者、夫妻企业主、咨询顾问和创业课程教师有参考价值。
This article views the survival of a family business as partially dependent on spousal commitment. The decision to launch a business should depend not only on analysis of the opportunity, but also on the degree to which one's spouse shares a common vision about the goals, risks, and rewards of the business. Models and testable hypotheses are developed to guide empirical research on the antecedents and consequences of spousal commitment to a family business. The models can benefit individuals considering the launch of a business, couples that currently own a business, business consultants, and university instructors teaching entrepreneurship courses.
