An Entrepreneurship-as-practice perspective of next-generation becoming family businesses successors: the role of discursive artefacts
本文从创业实践视角出发，通过分析一个烹饪家族企业的三本公开食谱（作为话语人工制品），探讨日常家庭生活实践如何帮助下一代成为家族企业接班人，对家族企业研究和创业实践理论构建有贡献。
Family is the most important, yet under researched, dimension in family business research.Following recent calls in Entrepreneurship-as-Practice, we bring a practice-based approach to family business research to understand next generation engagement over extended periods in family life.Drawing on a culinary family business's three published cookbooks, theorized as 'discursive artefacts', we examine how mundane family business practices can enable next generations to become successors.This study contributes to family business research with its re-focus on the family and offers new insights into practice theory-building in the emergent Entrepreneurship-as-Practice.Our findings illustrate how everyday practices in family lives -for example, cooking -can enable next generations' becoming family business successors, through socializing, bridging, and leading.
