Successor Attributes in Indian and Canadian Family Firms: A Comparative Study
复制了1998年加拿大研究,比较43家印度与加拿大家族企业主认为最重要的继任者特质,发现双方都最看重诚信和承诺,但印度更重血缘关系,加拿大更重人际技能和过往表现。
This study replicates the Chrisman, Chua, Sharma 1998 Canadian study in the Indian context. Using data from 43 Indian family firms, this study compares the successor attributes that Indian and Canadian family business owners consider most important. Despite significant differences in norms and culture prevalent in these two countries, results of this comparative study indicate that both sets of family firm owners rate integrity and commitment to the business as the two most important attributes of a successor. However, compared to Canadian family firm owners, Indian owners rate blood and family relationships higher. Canadian respondents, on the other hand, rate interpersonal skills, past performance, and experience higher.
