Strategy implementation in family firms: Why it matters and how it differs
本文探讨家族企业如何利用其独特的业务逻辑与家族动态的复杂性，在不确定环境中通过适应性战略实施获得竞争优势，并提供了实践导向的路线图。
Implementing strategy is rarely straightforward. For family firms, it is even more complex due to their blend of business logic and family dynamics. While this complexity may seem like a liability, it can become a source of strategic advantage in unpredictable environments where adaptability is key. Yet not all family firms are the same. This article explores how differences in ownership structure, generational involvement, family dynamics, financial and nonfinancial objectives, family involvement in management, and governance maturity enable some family firms to effectively implement adaptive strategy. Drawing on real-world examples, we show how certain family enterprises turn their complexity into a strength by cultivating a shared sense of orientation, resilience, and agility. In doing so, we offer a practitioner-oriented roadmap for implementing strategy in today’s uncertain world.
