Exploring the "willingness vs. ability” succession dilemma [Elektronische Daten] [Melanie Richards, Nadine Kammerlander, Thomas Markus Zellweger] Incumbents typically seek a highly committed and at the same time highly competent child as a successor, yet such a candidate is often not available. Extant literature is unable to predict which desired attribute—commitment (i.e., willingness) or competence (i.e., ability)—is most important in this dilemma. Drawing from institutional logics literature, we suggest that the incumbent's personal experiences, education, and cultural embeddedness, as much as firm-level situational stimuli, direct incumbent attention to either corporate logic, favoring competence, or family logic, favoring commitment, to guide decision-making about which family member to choose as a successor. We test our hypotheses using policy capturing with responses of 1,060 family firm owner-managers, and contribute to research on succession, family firms, and institutional logics. business studies alexrepo Kammerlander Nadine joint author Zellweger Thomas Markus joint author https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/256576/1/Succession%20Dilemma_final.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository 1 Journal paper alexrepo PeerReviewed alexrepo peerstatus ALEXREPO 856 40 https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/256576/1/Succession%20Dilemma_final.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository ALEXREPO 100 1- Richards Melanie ALEXREPO 700 1- Kammerlander Nadine joint author ALEXREPO 700 1- Zellweger Thomas Markus joint author ALEXREPO 773 0- BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 ALEXREPO ALEXREPO ALEXREPO Journal paper
