In the founder's Shadow conflict in the family firm / Davis, Peter S.

By: Davis, Peter S

Material type: Article

ArticlePublisher: 1999Description: 311 - 323 In: Family Business ReviewSummary: This paper examines the extent to which conflict across generations of family firms is due to the effects of two independent variables - generation and generational shadow. The presence of a generational shadow was indicated by whether either or both of the parents continued to influence the company once the next generation assumed control. Hypotheses predicted nonlinear trends in conflict and interactions between generation and generational shadow. Using data from a national telephone survey of over 1,000 family business owners, the results of an ANOVA test confirmed that the presence of generational shadow, in particular, that of the founder, increases organizational conflict.
