What Is Continuity?
批判了家族企业领域对连续性的单一理解，提出连续性应定义为保留一个或多个核心要素，同时允许其他要素牺牲，这种多维视角对咨询实践更有价值。
This article examines and expands the concept of continuity and asserts that family businesses and consultants retain a unidimensional definition of continuity in which success is attained only when family and business remain together. It suggests that this thinking is stale—muddied by an idealized version of the family business—and argues that continuity should be defined as the preservation of one or more essential, unique core elements that in turn implicate a set of tradeoffs or elements that may be sacrificed. Continuity approached in this way, where the pursuit of any dimension will have both gains and losses, will inevitably enrich both the client and consultant.
