家族企业跨代资源整合与组合创业

跨代创业是家族企业传承和永续经营的核心问题,涉及到两代企业家之间的资源整合和传承创新.现有研究大多关注家族企业的独特资源对创业的影响,但忽视了家族企业资源在代际之间形成的异质性结构及其在传承过程中的动态变化,二代涉入带来的资源异质性及其与一代资源之间的整合是组合创业的资源基础,也是推动跨代创业的动力.本文从资源基础观的角度出发,探究家族跨代资源异质性及其整合对家族企业创业行为的影响.基于1999年-2012年中国上市家族企业的数据进行回归分析,结果显示:家族二代异质性的知识资源对家族企业组合创业有显著的促进作用,而家族一代社会资本与二代异质性资源的整合也会正向影响家族企业的组合创业行为.分析结果还表明,地区市场化水平会负向调节知识资源异质性与家族企业组合创业的关系.本文结论对资源观在家族企业研究中的应用以及转型经济背景下的组合创业研究有重要贡献.

Trans-generational resource orchestration and portfolio entrepreneurship in family businesses

Trans-generational entrepreneurship is the key to the succession and growth of family businesses.It involves resource orchestration between two generations and innovation in succession processes.Recent researches have paid much attention to the effects of idiosyncratic resources in family businesses on entrepreneurship without noticing the resource heterogeneity between incumbents and successors as well as the dynamic changes of resource structure during the succession processes.Resource orchestration between two generations provides the resource base and dynamic for portfolio entrepreneurship.The generational involvement brings the heterogeneous resource base while resource bundling between two generations provides the dynamics for portfolio entrepreneurship.Based on RBV, this paper studies the influence of trans-generational resource heterogeneity and bundling on the behaviors of family business entrepreneurship.By using the data of public family business successions in China during 1999-2012 and regression analysis, the following conclusions are obtained.First, when the knowledge base and personal values between two generations are heterogeneous, firms tend to involve in portfolio entrepreneurship.Second, resource orchestration between two generations makes family businesses more inclined to involve in portfolio entrepreneurship.Third, market liberalization level has a negative effect on the relationship between resource heterogeneity and portfolio entrepreneurship.This study contributes to the implication of resource based view and resource management perspective in the family business field and researches on portfolio entrepreneurship in a transitional economy.
