A comparative study of successors' qualities in Chinese and western enterprises

With the development of Chinese family enterprises, the succession issue emerges in the spotlight. Drawn from the research results by Chrisman, Chua and Sharma in western context, this study explores the important qualities of the successors for Chinese family enterprises. It finds out for all the big differences of western and Chinese cultures, individual qualities of the successors are equally emphasized, with integrity and commitment to family enterprises as priority. But compared with western family enterprises that emphasize more on communicative skills, performance and experience, Chinese enterprises pay more attention to kinship and family members' trust, and prefer to pass enterprises to people within family. The research findings suggest important reference for Chinese family enterprises in the selection and cultivation of their successors.
