In the reality of economic life,China's private sector,mainly presented in the form of family businesses,has grown into one of the three driving forces of the national economy development together with foreign-invested and state-owned economy.However,in contract to the attractive role family businesses play in the development of Chinese market economy system and harmonic society,firm theory pays inadequate attention to China's Family Business(CFB) which is presented as the main body of private economy.On the other hand,under uncertain enviroment, organizational innovation is strongly needed for CFB to conduct strategic transformation and sustainable development.Unfortunately,the sporadic study on the organizational innovation of CFB deems corporate organization as targeted object and ignores the study on the management organization itself.Therefore,this article is to deepen the study on the managing organization of CFB,and enrich Chinese firm theories and extend the visual angle of Chinese economics innovation from the perspective of regarding private economy as study object.This article also provides theoretical guidance for the organizational innovation practice of CFB and for the government's private economy management and harmonic society building. Therefore,this article is of theoretical and practical importance.By taking overall advantage of knowledge from various subjects including economics,management science,sociology and psychology,this article,on the basis of firm theory,organizational theory,innovation theory and family business theory, and connecting normative and positive researches,model demonstration and logic reasoning,micro and macro,history and reality,conducts comparison analysis,case study and further brings up proposals and suggestions,and mainly responses to questions such as "why innovate" "Innovate what How innovate" and "Innovation progress",through the approaches of "theory-question-solution".Substantially,it is making an overall study on the innovation source,innovation conten,innovation process,innovation resistance,innovation valuation and innovation system of organizational innovation of CFB and its aim is to form a basic system on the study theory of organization innovation of CFB as to set a favorable basis for following researchers.This article can be divided into three parts.Partâ… ,theory study,includes chapter one to chapter two.Partâ…¡,current situation and difficulties analysis,is mainly including the chapter three and some contents in chapter one and other chapters.Partâ…¢,solutions and proposals,is including chapter four to chapter ten.The following important results can be derived from this article' theory study.Establish a new framework for the organizational innovation theory model analysis of CFB This article starts from the structure,process,culture and other core dements of organizational innovation of CFB and their relations,and then establishes a new framework for the organizational innovation theory model analysis of CFB.This framework is composed of innovation source,innovation content, innovation process control,innovation evaluation,and innovation system.In some degree,this article deepens the study theory from the organizational innovation of CFB on the managing organization itself,and partially enriches China's firm theory study from the perspective of private sector as a main body.Conduct a study on the impacts caused by the Parallel Organizational Structure (POS) characteristics of CFB,and put forward according proposals This article adopts the Parallel Planning Process theory in the business strategic study for reference to bring up the POS characteristics composed of Family Business and Business Family existing in CFB.The consistency on the organizational objective, benevolent cooperative willingness and adequate communication opportunities enable the family business an organization with high efficiency.However,in the event of interest conflicts,regulation violation behaviors or internal contradiction occurring among family members,family businesses are more inefficient than other organizations.This article thoroughly analyses the existing problems in the designing concept,scale,leadership,layer,function and form of the organizational structure in CFB,and then puts forward the proposals and suggestions to balance the relations between family and corporate organizational structure,establish an interdependent team pattern organizational structure system and utilize contingency idea to guide the CFB's organizational structure innovation.Extend the analysis angle of CFB's organizational process innovation This article extends the analysis angle of CFB's organizational process innovation from process theory,production process,management process and information technology system development process,and raises proposals to promote the consistent improvement of CFB's organizational process innovation,and to establish the harmonic relations between production and management processes by use of information technology.Therefore,the shortage of the CFB's organizational process study is in certain degree compensated.Study the characteristics of and proposals for the problems of CFB's organizational culture Starting from altruism,traditional stratum culture,modern stewardship theory,leadership mental model,selfishness and other corporate culture characteristics,this article conducts a systematic,rational and objective analysis for the characteristics,advantages,problems and sources of China's family business culture from the concept,institution,mechanism and customs and regulations and other corporate culture perspectives.Subsequently,it brings up innovation solutions from the nourishment of family business entrepreneurs,establishment of corporate ethic,design of corporate culture development route and Chinese and western outstanding corporate culture fusion.CFB's culture study contents are in some extent enriched.Put forward the Harmony Organizational Process Model(HOPM) organized by the driving and recognizing two-way process This article takes the HOPM based on the field theory for reference and comes to a conclusion that organizational process comprises of two contradicted and simultaneous processes,i.e. driving and recognizing processes.The former,from the perspective of organizational body,makes researches on the sign recognizing and organizational diagnosis of the organizational innovation,and on the design,implementation, valuation and subsequent activities and other explicit logical procedures.On the other hand,the latter,from the organizational members,conducts studies on the implicit logical procedures of organizational innovation from contact trembling to resistant conflict to acceptance and recognizing.The harmonic organization is formed by the interplay of the above two contradicted processes.In the meantime, the organizational innovation process control is going to adopt opportunity pick-up, method design,progress arrangement and resistance management to realize the unity of driving and recognizing processes and the harmony of the organization.Besides, the adoption of standardized driving process model should abide non-lineal and dynamic principles,systematic principles,and contingency principles to ensure the implementation effect and pertinence.Analyze the macro-risks of CFB's organizational innovation system and raise proposals Based on the framework of innovation system analysis,the future CFB's organizational innovation requires close focus on macro-risks,including legal, market access,service discrimination and agency lagging behind etc.In this case,the encouragement,guidance and support from the government are needed.The government should enhance its role in macro-guidance,promotion and support of innovation environment,structural innovation,process innovation and cultural innovation,and pilot CFB to make contribution for the building of harmonic society and achievement of common prosperity.In this sense,the study on the organizational innovation of family businesses is highly concern with Chinese economic theory innovation,and even the Chinese national revitalization.Three cases provide solid evidence for this article and enable it more convincing,and also can be used as reference for CFB's practice.
