摘要
Motivated by the sparse literature on succession dynamics in China and other transitional markets we consider the effects of initiating an intra-family leadership succession on firm strategic change and performance on a sample of publicly listed family firms from China. Grounded in upper echelons theory we find that the initiation of a succession process leads to significant strategic change. Based on generational differences between founders and successors we find the succession-strategic change relationship is positively moderated by a successor's international education. We also consider the strategic change to performance relationship.
