Choosing the Successor in New Zealand Family Farms
研究了新西兰家庭农场中父母选择继任者的过程，包括五个阶段：观察兴趣、缩小候选人范围、评估承诺、补偿其他子女、安置继任者，对研究者和考虑传承的农场家庭有参考价值。
Farmers in family businesses are often interested in generational succession. Yet farming parents are often unclear about the process of choosing a successor. We undertook a grounded-method study of the succession process among New Zealand farm families. The process included five stages: watching for interest, reducing the pool of eligibles, assessing commitment, compensating the others, and placing the successor. We make suggestions for future research that will test the model of succession, and for use of these findings by farm families who are contemplating family succession.
