Examining Family Firm Succession From a Social Exchange Perspective
从社会交换视角回顾家族企业传承文献，梳理了34本期刊中88篇定量研究，分析了传承各阶段（规则制定、继任者培养、过渡）中的利益相关者交换，为未来研究提供指导。
We use a social exchange perspective to review family firm succession literature owing to its fit with the multiphase, multistakeholder nature of the process. We searched the history of 34 journals, finding 88 published or forthcoming articles that quantitatively examined succession. We consider the primary phases of the management succession process (ground rules, successor development, and transition) and the relevant stakeholder exchanges occurring during each phase, including exchanges between incumbents and successors, within family boundaries, and across family boundaries. We contribute to the family firm succession literature by identifying how a social exchange perspective can help guide future research.
