Knowledge Accumulation in Family Firms
研究了瑞士和意大利四家家族企业如何积累知识，提出一个模型，将知识积累视为企业长寿的推动因素，为研究者和管理者提供假设和参考。
The aim of this article is to make a contribution to the understanding of how knowledge can be accumulated in family business. Four family firms from Switzerland and Italy are part of this research. Existing literature combined with the case studies analysed lead to the development of a model that outlines factors responsible for knowledge accumulation viewed as an `enabler of longevity' in family business.The relationships depicted in the model can be read by researchers as hypotheses and suggestions for further research, and by managers as possible factors needed to accumulate knowledge in order to be successful across generations.
