Abstract

How new family CEOs use the structural setup they initially find to foster post-succession change in their family firms remains a theoretical and practical puzzle. Building on strategic change and family succession insights, we draw upon 74 interviews from 43 intra-family CEO successions to employ a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. We reveal three change-enabling solutions (authority, empowerment, and alignment) and develop a model of how new family CEOs navigate different structural setups. We add configurational insights to strategic change research in entrepreneurial organizations such as family firms, extend knowledge on new CEO power, and provide contingency factors to the role of new CEO distance.

接管：家族企业继任后变动的配置视角

新的家族ceo如何利用他们最初发现的结构设置来促进家族企业继任后的变革，仍然是一个理论和实践难题。基于战略变革和家族继任的见解，我们对43位家族内部CEO继任进行了74次访谈，采用了模糊集定性比较分析。我们揭示了三种促进变革的解决方案（权威、授权和一致性），并开发了一个模型，说明新任家族ceo如何应对不同的结构设置。我们在家族企业等创业型组织的战略变革研究中增加了配置视角，拓展了新CEO权力的知识，并为新CEO距离的作用提供了偶然性因素。
