The main objective of this research was to propose a framework centred on the dynamic capabilities approach, and to be applied in the context of family businesses' adaption to their changing business environment. Data were gathered through interviews with ten FBs operating in Western Australia. Based on the findings, the clusters of activities, sensing, seizing, and transforming emerged as key factors for firms' adaptation, and were reinforced by firms' open culture, signature processes, idiosyncratic knowledge, and valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable attributes. Thus, the usefulness of the proposed framework was confirmed. Implications and future research opportunities are presented.
本研究的主要目的是提出一个以动态能力方法为核心的框架，并将其应用于家族企业适应不断变化的商业环境的背景中。数据通过对在西澳大利亚运营的十家家族企业的访谈收集。基于研究结果，活动集群、感知、抓住和转化成为企业适应的关键因素，并通过企业的开放文化、标志性流程、独特知识以及有价值、稀缺、难以模仿和不可替代的属性得到强化。因此，所提出框架的实用性得到了证实。文中还阐述了研究的启示和未来的研究机会。
