Abstract

Abstract This conceptual paper explores the surprising impact exerted by third elements on the escalation and de‐escalation of conflicts in business families. To this end, we draw on core concepts of Batesonian cybernetic theory to perform a reconceptualisation of pertinent literature on changing conflict dynamics gathered in family business research and consultancy. Based on this reconceptualisation, we identify explanations and key mechanisms for the impact of third elements on conflict dynamics. Our study thus contributes to research at the interface of family business research, conflict research and cybernetic theory development.

第三个理论:对企业家族中不断升级的冲突动态的控制论方法

摘要本文探讨了第三要素对企业家族冲突升级和降级的惊人影响。为此，我们借鉴Batesonian控制论的核心概念，对家族企业研究和咨询中收集的有关冲突动态变化的相关文献进行重新概念化。基于这种重新概念化，我们确定了第三要素对冲突动态影响的解释和关键机制。因此，本研究有助于家族企业研究、冲突研究和控制论发展的交叉研究。

期刊介绍： Systems Research and Behavioral Science publishes original articles on new theories, experimental research, and applications relating to all levels of living and non-living systems. Its scope is comprehensive, dealing with systems approaches to: the redesign of organisational and societal structures; the management of administrative and business processes; problems of change management; the implementation of procedures to increase the quality of work and life; the resolution of clashes of norms and values; social cognitive processes; modelling; the introduction of new scientific results, etc. The editors especially want manuscripts of a theoretical or empirical nature which have broad interdisciplinary implications not found in a journal devoted to a single discipline.
