从合约理论的视角提出家族企业领导人的权威是对以其为中心的不完全合约的有效治理结构;并进一步以盖尔西克的三环模式为基础,将其依赖的权威解析为来源于所有权的合法权威,来源于管理才能、人格特质的领袖魅力权威和来源于亲缘关系的家族权威3类。提出在家族企业代际传承过程中,合法权威可以通过股权转移和管理职位任命而直接继承;另外2类权威却只能重建,由此造成代际传承中的权威失落和传承失败。采用实证方法检验家族权威与领袖魅力权威差别的同时,运用权威系统分析红豆集团和海鑫集团2个典型案例,突出代际传承中权威重建的意义。
This study argues that family firm leader's authority is an effective governance structure of the incomplete contract whose center contractor is the leader, and the authority system of family firms contains three dimensions based on different origins, which are legal authority from ownership, charming authority from capabilities and characteristics and family authority from clan based on the contract theory and the Three-circle Mode. It also argues that during the succession, legal authority can be succeeded immediately by stock transfer and management appointment, while the other two can not be succeeded, which finally causes "succession puzzle". This study further tests the difference between family authority and charming authority and finally emphasizes the importance of authority succession in family firm's succession by analyzing typical cases of Hongdou Group and Haixin Group.
