范鑫宇 / Fan Xinyu
范鑫宇 / Fan Xinyu is the 长江商学院 observer cited in EP255 厂二代的“继承之战”:年轻人接班会重塑企业吗? to explain 厂二代 succession patterns. In the episode, 李小杰 draws on his work with programs such as 接力长江, 基业长青, MBA, and EMBA to frame how second-generation family-business successors learn.
His key contribution is the phrase 默会知识. He argues that founders often go to business school to systematize past experience, while second-generation successors already have formal education but need practice-based wisdom: how to judge people, manage relations, read situations, and turn knowledge into operating decisions.
Source Position
- Fan Xinyu separates founder and successor learning needs: one generation codifies experience, the next lacks lived operating friction.
- He identifies new business, digitalization/intelligentization, and foreign trade or overseas expansion as easier entry paths for successors.
- He frames the founder’s relation to the company as almost parental, while successors may treat the company more like a job or vehicle for self-realization.
