Understanding the Contesting Ideologies of Family Business: Challenge for Leadership and Professional Services
从概念和文化角度,将家族企业视为三种竞争性意识形态(创业主义、管理主义、家长制)的竞技场,并强调其作为管理、所有权和家庭生活三个子系统组合对领导者和专业服务提供者构成的挑战。
This paper examines how a family business system serves as the ideological arena of three cultural forces—entrepreneurialism, managerialism, and paternalism—that are, to a great extent, contesting ideologies based on different rationalities, or schools of thought. Furthermore, it reinforces the view that a family business system is the combination of three interacting subsystems (management, ownership, and family life)—a form of business that is challenging both for leaders and professional service providers. The approach of the study is conceptual and cultural. It bases its theoretical background on the developments of Johannisson and Huse (2000) and Tagiuri and Davis (1996). A summary of the key results appear in the synthesis of ideological tensions and are further developed in the suggested C 3 -model, emphasizing the need for balance among creation, caring, and control.
