Abstract

Research on family-owned businesses has recently gained increased attention. Given the absence of any comprehensive review of the strategic approaches to succession in family firms, a systematic review of research to date was performed. Six main approaches emerged from the 122 studies reviewed: (i) Strategic planning, (ii) Knowledge transfer, (iii) Innovation and internationalization, (iv) Family and business vision, (v) Business exit, and (vi) Governance strategy. This study provides an integrative framework of the strategic approaches adopted by family companies during their succession processes and gaps existing in this area, suggesting a future research agenda.

我们对家族企业继承的战略方法了解多少？系统审查和未来议程

最近，对家族企业的研究得到了越来越多的关注。鉴于缺乏对家族企业继承的战略方法的全面审查，对迄今为止的研究进行了系统审查。从审查的122项研究中产生了六种主要方法：(i)战略规划，（ii）知识转移，（iii）创新和国际化，（iv）家族和企业愿景，(v)企业退出，以及（vi）治理战略。本研究为家族企业在继任过程中所采用的战略方法和该领域存在的差距提供了一个综合框架，并提出了未来的研究议程。

期刊介绍： The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
