Your Old Men Shall Dream Dreams, Your Young Men Shall See Visions: Toward a Theory of Family Firm Innovation with Help from the Brubeck Family
在回顾创新与家族企业文献后，提出跨代创新的粗粒度与细粒度概念，并通过研究一个爵士即兴演奏家族的互动，揭示家族企业创新的核心动力，为未来研究提供议程。
Despite significant advances, a conspicuous gap remains in family business research concerning the practice of innovation in family firms. After reviewing innovation and family business literature, we offer coarse- and fine-grained conceptualizations of intergenerational innovation in the family enterprise. Given the fine-grained distinctions inherent in our resulting definition of family firm innovation, we move on to an in-depth study of one family involved in the innovative activity of jazz improvisation. After offering our analysis of the core dynamics apparent in this family's interactions, we conclude this paper with a research agenda for future work on family firm innovation.
