Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted two questionnaire surveys on the psychological characteristics of current managers and succession candidates, their relationship, and the business succession process. We also conducted interviews
with several family firms regarding business succession. While psychological characteristics and business succession are being analyzed, we found that firms with R & D investment, which pursue long-term survival, or firms which realize the importance of sufficient preparation period and involvement of non-relatives for business succession are likely to determine a successor. We also found that business succession is a good opportunity for the successor to bring in a new perspective and carry out corporate transformation, and it is important to reconfirm the strengths and values of the firm through constructive discussions between generations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ほとんどがファミリー企業である中小企業は、日本経済において高いプレゼンスを示しているが、全体の3割に当たる企業が後継者不在で、事業承継が深刻な問題となっている。本研究は、事業承継を実現するための課題や承継者が決まっている企業の特性を明らかにし、事業承継の問題に対する対処法を提示している。
また、ファミリー企業は、従来の事業やビジネスモデルを継続するがゆえに企業変革を達成しにくいと考えられるが、本研究は、事業承継が企業変革の良い機会であり、世代間での建設的な議論を通じて自社の強みを再確認することが、企業変革を進めるにあたって肝要であることを示した。
