ABSTRACTChina’s family enterprises have entered the peak of intergenerational succession, and the succession of the second generation is bound to have a great impact on the development of these enterprises. From the perspective of the resource-based view, this paper constructs a relationship model among intergenerational succession, enterprise intellectual capital and market sustainable competitive advantage. Based on the data of a sample of 189 entrepreneurs from family firms in Zhejiang Province, we use multiple regression and structural equation modeling to explore the impact of intergenerational succession on the market sustainable competitive advantage of family firms and the mediating role of the three dimensions of the firm’s intellectual capital, namely, structural capital, relational capital and human capital. The empirical results show that (1) successful succession of a family business significantly promotes the market sustainable competitive advantage of the enterprise; (2) successful succession has a significant promotion effect on the three dimensions of enterprise intellectual capital, and the three dimensions of enterprise intellectual capital play a partial mediating role between intergenerational succession and the market sustainable competitive advantage of the enterprises. This conclusion expands the research on the consequences of intergenerational succession and has important practical significance for the healthy development of family enterprises in China.KEYWORDS: Family businessintergenerational successionintellectual capitalsustainable competitive advantage Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Wenzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau [23WSKZD03-02].

ABSTRACTPurpose This study aims to explore the conception and antecedents of organizational value-based selling (VBS) capability in the business-to-business (B2B) market. Additionally, the present study also explores the contingency conditions between VBS capability and sales performance.Design/methodology/approach This study tested the model hypotheses by applying partial least squares regression to a sample of 186 sales directors or managers of service or product providers in China.Findings Four service-oriented resources in the organization – service-oriented human resource management practices (human), inter-departmental service collaboration (relational), service technology (informational), and end-to-end service processes and standards (organizational) – have a positive impact on VBS capability. In turn, VBS capability positively impacts sales performance, while customer needs complexity and competitive intensity positively moderate the relationship between the preceding two factors.Research limitations/implications This study tested the model hypotheses using cross-sectional subjective data for a single country.Practical implications The results suggest that providers should develop the VBS capability (embodied in understanding customer business, crafting the value proposition, communicating customer value, and verifying value-in-use) to secure a competitive advantage in the marketplace, in conjunction with building and leveraging their service-oriented resources to help VBS capability improve a comparative advantage. In particular, VBS capability tends to be more effective when customer needs are more complex, or the intensity of competition amongst enterprises is high.Originality/value This study conceptualizes and operationalizes the organizational value-based selling capability. Based on the resource-advantage theory, we identified and examined the critical role of four operant resources in forming VBS capability and the moderating effects of two factors related to customer and competitor between VBS capability and sales performance. This study advances and contributes to the existing research on selling capability, value-based selling, and B2B sales management.KEYWORDS: Value-based selling capabilityservice-oriented resourcessales performancecustomer needs complexitycompetitive intensityresource-advantage theorycustomer valueB2B sales Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

摘要目的探讨企业对企业(B2B)市场中组织基于价值的销售(VBS)能力的概念及其前因。此外,本研究还探讨了VBS能力与销售绩效之间的权变条件。本研究通过对186名中国服务或产品供应商的销售总监或经理进行偏最小二乘回归,对模型假设进行了检验。发现组织中的四种面向服务的资源——面向服务的人力资源管理实践(human)、跨部门服务协作(relational)、服务技术(information)和端到端服务流程和标准(organization)——对VBS能力有正向影响。VBS能力正向影响销售绩效,而客户需求复杂性和竞争强度正向调节二者之间的关系。本研究使用单个国家的横断面主观数据检验了模型假设。结果表明,供应商应该发展VBS能力(体现在理解客户业务、制定价值主张、沟通客户价值和验证使用价值),以确保在市场上的竞争优势,同时建立和利用面向服务的资源,以帮助VBS能力提高比较优势。特别是当客户需求比较复杂,或者企业之间的竞争比较激烈时,VBS能力往往更有效。原创性/价值本研究将组织基于价值的销售能力概念化并可操作性。基于资源优势理论,我们识别并检验了四种经营资源在VBS能力形成中的关键作用,以及客户和竞争对手两个因素在VBS能力与销售绩效之间的调节作用。本研究对现有的销售能力、基于价值的销售、B2B销售管理等方面的研究进行了推进和贡献。关键词:基于价值的销售能力;面向服务的资源;销售绩效;客户需求复杂性;竞争强度;资源优势理论;关于资源优势与资源基础理论的深入比较,请参见Hunt and Davis (Citation2008, 12)。作者感谢国家自然科学基金(ID: 71472035和72172107)的资助。
