This article maps and integrates research on legacy in family business using a sample of 140 articles. After describing the process of arriving at a corpus of legacy articles, we propose a systematic literature review that summarizes current literature based on five overarching questions: (a) What is legacy? (b) Who sends and receives legacy? (c) Why is legacy sent and accepted/rejected? (d) How is legacy sent and received? and (e) In which contexts? Based on this review, we identify gaps in the literature and suggest theoretical perspectives and research questions to guide future research on legacy in family business.

本文使用 140 篇文章作为样本，绘制并整合了有关家族企业遗产的研究。在描述了获得遗留文章语料库的过程之后，我们提出了一项系统的文献综述，根据五个首要问题总结了当前的文献：（a）什么是遗留？(b) 谁发送和接收遗产？(c) 为什么要发送和接受/拒绝遗产？(d) 遗产如何发送和接收？(e) 在什么情况下？基于这篇综述，我们确定了文献中的空白，并提出了理论观点和研究问题，以指导未来对家族企业遗产的研究。
