Abstract

This study focuses on family owner–nonfamily CEO relational practices and what these relational practices constrain and potentiate in family firm CEO succession. Our main contribution is developing a constructionist relational practice perspective and approach as an alternative to the entitative view that dominates the family business literature. We illustrate the relational practice perspective through our dialogically structured inquiries with family owners and nonfamily CEOs. We co-develop practical wisdom on how family owner–nonfamily CEO relational practices can construct stuckness in organizing or, conversely, open up new possibilities to go on depending on (i) the way the family owner and nonfamily CEO “handle” equivocality and tension they continuously (re)produce through their relational practices and (ii) the way they enact “relational balancing” to equilibrate their relation in the making in terms of value/self-worth maintenance by involving other actors, such as board members, management team members, or a coach.

家族所有者-非家族CEO关系实践塑造CEO继任：处理平等和关系平衡

本研究的重点是家族所有者-非家族CEO的关系实践，以及这些关系实践对家族企业CEO继任的约束和潜在作用。我们的主要贡献是发展了一种建构主义的关系实践视角和方法，作为主导家族企业文献的实体观点的替代。我们通过与家庭所有者和非家庭首席执行官的对话式结构调查，阐述了关系实践的视角。我们共同开发了关于家庭所有者-非家庭CEO关系实践如何构建组织结构的实用智慧，或者反过来，根据（i）家族所有者和非家族首席执行官通过他们的关系实践“处理”他们不断（重新）产生的模棱两可和紧张的方式，以及（ii）他们制定“关系平衡”的方式，通过让其他参与者（如董事会成员）参与进来，在价值/自我价值维护方面平衡他们的关系，管理团队成员或教练。
