Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 企業管理研究所(MBA學位學程) === 105 === Family business is one of general types of companies in Taiwan. As the first generation entrepreneurs reached the retiring age in recent years, many Taiwanese family businesses gradually tend to prepare for succession planning. Whether those Taiwanese family businesses could go through the challenges of succession in the future will be the key factor of their sustainable operation. However, their perceptions of succession planning related issues could influence the result of succession. With their first-generation founders and second-generation successors as research object, this study explored their perception level of the importance and capability to the key factors of succession planning, including succession and next generation, governance, growth, assurance, exit strategies, and wealth preservation. Then, we could capture the thought of family businesses and figure out the difference between importance and capability of each factors. Besides, this study also analyzed the influence of some individual characteristics( position, gender, age, and status) and business characteristics( industrial categories, established year, location, the number of employees). This study employed a paper-based questionnaire survey with a structured format and tested by explorative factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, paired sample t-test, comparison of means, independent-sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Through those data analysis, the results showed that almost all factors revealed in the study are significantly positively correlated to each other in the perception level of importance as well as the perception level of capability. And, the perception level of importance is always higher than the perception level of capability. Furthermore, some characteristics, including individual status, industrial categories, and number of employees can significantly influence the result of the perception level.
