Where Do We Go from Here? Strategic Answers for University-Based Family Business Programs
主张家族企业中心需通过战略规划与大学使命对齐,通常应以教学或研究为学术基础,并分析教学、研究和服务之间的平衡,以降低失败风险。
This article argues that family business centers need to align themselves with their universities' missions through strategic planning. It further argues that in most cases this means building the program on an academic base of either teaching or research. Part of establishing that base includes analyzing the balance among teaching, research, and service (i.e., using the “Holistic Model”). Without this approach, the risk of failure greatly increases. The experience discussed throughout this article is that of a small, private, liberal arts university that, using the approach recommended, built its center on the foundation of teaching. Many of these issues warrant further research.
