家族企业继承人创业成长金字塔模型——基于个人意义构建视角的多案例研究

A Pyramid Model of Successor's Entrepreneurial Growth in Family Firms:Multi-case Study from the Perspective of Meaning Making

家族企业是一种具有跨代持续发展愿望的企业,以跨代创业作为传承路径逐步获得认可。然而作为家族创业的主力军,家族继承人的创业成长体系尚未明晰。基于此,本研究从关注家族企业如何实施跨代创业、创业效绩效如何,转向继承人个体创业成长及其对家族企业代际传承的微观作用机制的研究。以5个兼具传承和转型需求的家族企业为研究对象,基于个人意义构建视角,采用探索性多案例研究方法,通过开放性译码分析提炼继承人个体发展的创业成长关键要素,包括创业导入、创业实践和创业升华3个阶段的创业成长核心要素、驱动因素及意义构建策略,试图在家族传承背景下构建以跨代创业为主要路径的家族企业继承人创业成长的金字塔模型。研究结论不仅为家族企业继承人成长的差异性提供了解释,而且为家族创业实践和继承人培育模式提供了理论框架,为家族企业传承和跨代持续成长提供启迪和借鉴。

Family firms are enterprises with the desire of sustainable development across generations.Now the transgenerational entrepreneurship as a way to succession has gradually been recognized,however,as the main force of family entrepreneurship,the family successor’s entrepreneurial growth system has not been clear yet.This paper shifts the focus from the implementation and performance of trans-generational entrepreneurship to a micro mechanism way of Successor’s individual entrepreneurial growth and the impacts on the succession in family firms.Based on the perspective of entrepreneurial learning,five family firms which is featured by both succession and transformation were taken as the research objects.Through the analysis of open decoding,we integrate the entrepreneurial growth system based on the successors’individual development.This paper puts forward the core elements and progressive relationship of entrepreneurship growth at three levels:entrepreneurship participation,entrepreneurship practice(entrepreneurship input and entrepreneurship output)and entrepreneurship development,and explores the pyramid model of successor’s entrepreneurial growth in Family Firms,which use entrepreneurship learning as a tool and trans-generational entrepreneurship as the main path under the background of family succession,providing an explanation for the differences of successors’growth in family firms,and giving inspiration and reference for the succession of family firm and researchers of follow-up study on entrepreneurial behavior and succession strategy.
