Family business and succession planning: dynamics, barriers and strategies

这项研究将产生更好的战略，协议和政策，为家族企业的继承规划，适合澳大利亚的情况。家族企业约占澳大利亚企业的70%至80%，商业价值达4.5万亿澳元。据估计，随着战后一代企业创始人的离去，未来十年将有3.5万亿美元的企业价值易手。然而，调查经常显示，家族企业无限期地推迟继任计划，使企业及其利益相关者面临激烈冲突和企业失败的风险。这项研究将有助于实现国家研究优先目标，加强澳大利亚的社会和经济结构，以及老龄化，老龄化的生产力。

This research will generate better strategies, protocols and policies for family business succession planning, tailored to the Australian context. Family businesses constitute about 70-80 per cent of Australian businesses, and $4.5 trillion in business value. It is estimated that $3.5 trillion of business value will change hands in the next decade as the post-war generation of business founders moves on. Yet surveys routinely show that family businesses indefinitely defer succession planning, placing businesses and their stakeholders at risk of acrimonious conflict and business failure. This research will contribute towards the National Research Priority goals strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric and ageing well, ageing productively.
