二代继任方式、权威构建与家族企业组合创业

Second-Generation Succession Styles, Authority Construction and Family Business Portfolio Entrepreneurship

文章实证检验了二代继任方式对家族企业的组合创业行为的影响,以及在家族成员权威和家族控制权类型不同的情况下,两者之间的关系是否将发生变化。研究发现:相对于二代基层型继任方式,空降型继任方式对家族企业的组合创业倾向起到强化作用,两者之间的关系在家族成员权威较高的情况下,以及多创始人控制型家族企业中更显著。进一步检验发现,在男性二代继任者中,以及在30岁以上的二代继任者中,二代空降型继任方式与家族企业组合创业之间的正向关系更显著;二代继任者选择组合创业有助于其个人权威的构建。研究结论为理解二代继任与家族企业组合创业问题提供了一些新的知识。

The article analyzes and tests how exactly second-generation succession models affect family firms’ combinatorial entrepreneurial behavior and whether the relationship between the two changes depends on family member authority and type of family control. It is found that second-generation parachuting successions strengthen family firms’ propensity for portfolio entrepreneurship compared to second-generation grassroots successions, and the relationship between the two is more significant in the case of higher family member authority and in multi-founder-controlled family firms. Further tests found that the positive relationship between second-generation parachuting succession model and family firm portfolio entrepreneurship was more significant among male second-generation successors and among second-generation successors over 30 years old;second- generation successors’ choice of portfolio entrepreneurship contributed to their personal authority construction. The findings provide some new knowledge for understanding the issue of second-generation succession and family business portfolio entrepreneurship.
