An Exploration of the Generational Differences in Levels of Control Held Among Family Businesses Approaching Succession
研究100家加拿大家族企业交接班中，现任与继任者的客观和感知控制权，发现控制权主要在现任手中，但继任准备度与继任者控制权更相关，并强调代际差异。
This research examines levels of objective and perceived control held by incumbents and successors in 100 Canadian family businesses approaching succession. Although results suggest that control remains largely with incumbents, indicators of succession readiness were more reliably correlated with the successors' levels of control. Generational differences in the association between succession indicators and actual levels of control are highlighted. Implications of these generational differences and the association between succession readiness indicators and control outcomes are discussed.
