家族企業在過去撐起台灣經濟主力，近十年來，如何讓家族企業永續經營傳承，成為上一代企業家最擔憂的議題。中國人常講說富不過三代，而實際發生的案例也時常如此，反觀美國的洛克菲勒家族卻已傳承了七代，甚至出版書籍，如此大的差異是為何？我們做了什麼或少做了什麼？國外的百年家族有什麼我們可以借鏡之處？本課程的主要目標是幫助學生了解家族傳承不僅僅是財富的傳承，更包含經驗傳承、人脈傳承及文化傳承等。而這些傳承內容並非一朝一夕即可到位的，必需經過長時間慎密的規劃、討論及修正；即便家族企業的接班人也需透過長期的觀察及訓練等，才能找到對的人，因此家族治理顯的格外重要。這些知識可以幫助學生更深一層發掘家族傳承及家族治理的奧妙，並透過案例探討使學生更深入地了解實際情況下如何應對不同的挑戰和問題。

In the past, family businesses have become the main economic force in Taiwan. In the past, how to make family businesses continue to be inherited forever has become the most worrying topic of the previous generation of entrepreneurs. Chinese people often say that wealth has lasted for three generations, and the actual cases are often the case. The Rockefeller family, which opposes the United States, has inherited seven generations and even published books. Why is such a big difference? What did we do or what did we do less? What are the places where we can borrow lenses from a century-old family abroad? The main purpose of this course is to help students understand that family inheritance is not only the inheritance of wealth, but also includes experience inheritance, human inheritance and cultural inheritance. These inherited contents cannot be achieved overnight. They must be carefully planned, discussed and revised for a long time; even the successors of the family business need to find the right person through long-term observation and training, so family governance is particularly important. These knowledge can help students to further explore the cleverness of family inheritance and family governance, and through case exploration, students can have a deeper understanding of how to respond to different challenges and problems in actual situations.
