摘要：     随着家族企业进入代际传承高峰期，如何实现家族传承与创新并行推进是一个值得关注的问题。鉴于企业创新决策是一个受到多层面因素共同驱动的复杂过程，本文利用模糊集定性比较分析方法，基于家族驱动创新的理论框架，从家族自主权、家族资源能力和家族意愿三个层面探索代际传承背景下继任者特质与其继任情境（创一代特征与企业背景）对企业创新的协同影响机制。对131家已实现二代继任的中国上市家族企业样本进行分析，结果发现产生高创新投入的路径共6组，可区分为四种类型。第一种为职业经理人助力二代实现企业创新的职业辅佐型，第二种为创一代长期谋划推动创新的培养帮扶型，第三种为创一代与继任二代合作突破绩效困境的合作破局型，第四种为二代丰富履历促进创新的二代主导型。其中，“未雨绸缪”式的培养帮扶型传承还有利于创新产出，二代主导型传承则同时有利于创新产出与效率。研究进一步发展家族驱动创新框架应用情境，丰富了家族企业创新研究的方法基础，对家族企业顺利完成代际传承、实现可持续发展具有一定的启示。

Abstract:    With family businesses entering the peak period of intergenerational succession, how to achieve simultaneous advancement of family succession and innovation becomes a key issue. Considering that firm innovation decisions are complex processes driven by multiple factors, and based on the family-driven innovation framework encompassing three dimensions of family ability as discretion, resources and willingness, we explored the influence mechanism of successor characteristics and their succession context (founder traits and firm background) on firm innovation in the context of intergenerational inheritance with the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method. Analyzing 131 samples of family businesses that have undergone second-generation succession, the findings of this paper unveiled six configurations characterized by high innovation input. These configurations can be categorized into four pathways: the first entails professional support, wherein professional managers assist the successors implement firm innovation; the second embodies nurturing and assisting, involving founders devising long-term plans to propel innovation; the third encompasses cooperative game-breaking, with founders and successors collaboratively overcoming performance dilemmas; and the fourth encompasses second-generation-lead succession, with the successors′ extensive experience driving innovation. Among them, the “preparing for the future” type of nurturing and assisting succession is conducive to innovation output, while the second-generation-lead succession is conducive to innovation output and efficiency simultaneously. The research has contributed greatly to the application context of family-driven innovation framework and enriched the methodological basis of family business innovation research. The research will provide insights for successful intergenerational succession and sustainable development of family businesses.
