Summary
Family businesses play a crucial role in China's economy, contributing 60% of GDP and employing 80% of the workforce as of 2017. However, keeping these businesses within the family is challenging. A 2015 study from Peking University revealed that about 80% of the younger generation were reluctant to take over family businesses due to significant differences in values, experiences, and aspirations. Today, many young people prefer careers in technology and banking and are drawn to start-ups rather than continuing the family legacy. Roger King from the Tanoto Center emphasizes that the primary challenge is engaging the next generation to return to the family business.
總結
家族企業在中國經濟中扮演著重要角色，根據2017年的數據，它們貢獻了60%的GDP，並雇用了80%的勞動力。然而，保持這些企業在家族內部是一項挑戰。2015年北京大學的一項研究顯示，約80%的年輕一代對接管家族企業持有不情願的態度，原因在於價值觀、經驗和抱負之間的顯著差異。如今，許多年輕人更喜歡從事科技和銀行業務，並渴望參與初創企業，而不是繼承家族的傳統。來自香港科技大學Tanoto亞洲家族企業與創業研究中心的Roger King強調，當前的主要挑戰是如何吸引下一代回歸家族企業。 Full report: https://www.ey.com/en_cn/insights/china-opportunities/how-are-family-businesses-in-china-planning-for-succession
