We argue that two conditions necessary for the longevity of a family firm are the continuity of the enterprise name and of the family involvement in business. Beyond these conditions, adaptation and flexibility in mind-set of ???what a family is??? and ???what business we are in??? are likely to achieve longevity of a family firm. A few strategies used by dynastic family firms to strike a winning balance between continuity and change are discussed.

Abstract

We argue that two conditions necessary for the longevity of a family firm are the continuity of the enterprise name and of the family involvement in business. Beyond these conditions, adaptation and flexibility in mind-set of ???what a family is??? and ???what business we are in??? are likely to achieve longevity of a family firm. A few strategies used by dynastic family firms to strike a winning balance between continuity and change are discussed.
