The Influence of Family on the Family Business Succession Process: a Multi-Generational Perspective
研究构建了家族企业传承的过程模型，考察家庭、组织及资源提供者等多层面影响，发现家庭因素显著促进传承规划，且代际差异起调节作用。
The present study develops a process model of succession involving steps undertaken to prepare the family business for succession. The model examined multiple spheres of influence, including individual, group (family), organizational, and critical resource providers, as well as investigating the moderating effects of generational differences. Tests of this model used responses from a nationwide survey of family business owner/managers. The results support research expectations that various factors, especially family influence, positively affect the extent of succession planning. Further evidence is provided indicating that generation moderates revealed relationships.
