In this study, based on the data of complete heritage（successor served as chairman of the board or general manager and elder generation shift exit enterprise as a symbol）of listed family firms, we found that successor control power has a significant positive impact on enterprise strategic change; internal legitimacy in the relationship between successor control power and enterprise strategic change plays a positive role in regulating; and external legitimacy in the relationship between successor control power and enterprise strategic change plays a negative role in regulating. Consequently, legitimacy is an important condition for the conversion of legal authority to real authority.
