“中国合伙人”为何“分手”：创业团队冲突演化路径分析

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文以14个创业团队公开冲突事件的媒体报道为研究样本，采用质性研究方法，基于NVivo 11软件对创业团队冲突产生的原因及具体表现形式进行了总结，进而采用清晰集定性比较分析方法，基于csQCA2.0对创业团队冲突的演化路径进行了分析。结果表明，我国创业团队冲突产生的原因主要涉及到创始人之间的利益纷争、情感问题、人格特质差异、沟通、信任以及创业团队的管理问题；通过前因构型整合分析将创业团队冲突演化路径分为三类，分别是关系主导型、利益主导型和认知传递型，其中认知传递型冲突演化路径是创业团队冲突升级的主要路径。创始人之间的利益纷争是引发创业团队冲突的必要条件，而其演变的过程主要来源于创始人之间的关系冲突即个体特质差异和情感问题，沟通和信任在关系冲突演化阶段中起着关键的缓冲/加剧作用。

关键词: 创业团队冲突, 演化路径, 定性比较分析

Abstract: Based on the media reports of 14 open conflict incidents of entrepreneurial teams, this paper summarizes the causes and specific manifestations of entrepreneurial team conflict by using qualitative research method and NVivo 11 software, and then uses clear set qualitative comparative analysis method to analyze the evolution of entrepreneurial team conflict based on csQCA 2.0. The results show that the main causes of entrepreneurial team conflict in China are interest disputes among founders, emotional problems, personality differences, communication, trust and management problems in entrepreneurial team. The evolution paths of entrepreneurial team conflict can be divided into three types, namely, relationship-oriented, benefit-oriented and cognitive-transmit-oriented through the integration analysis of antecedent configuration. Cognitive-transmit-oriented is the main evolution path of entrepreneurial team conflict escalation. Interest disputes among founders are the necessary conditions to trigger entrepreneurial team conflicts, and the evolution process mainly comes from the rlationship conflict(include individual differences and emotional problems)between founders. Communication and trust play a key role (buffer/aggravation) in the evolution of relationship conflict.

Key words: entrepreneurial team conflict, evolutionary path, qualitative comparative analysis
