Coupling Family Business Research with Organization Studies: Interpretations, Issues and Insights
探讨了家族企业研究与组织研究结合的双向益处，分析了家族企业的五个核心特征如何被组织研究照亮，以及组织研究如何通过家族企业情境得到拓展。
Family-controlled firms are the most widespread form of business organization, but they have so far attracted limited attention from organizational scholars. The present work suggests that coupling research on family business organizations with organization studies will substantially benefit both areas of scholarly research. We explore how the five core defining features of family firms – ownership, management and governance, transgenerational intention, generational involvement and perceived identity – may be illuminated by extant research in organization studies, and how, in turn, organizational studies may be extended by investigating its key themes in the empirical context of family firms.
