Defining the Family Business by Behavior It is generally accepted that a family's involvement in the business makes the family business unique; but the literature continues to have difficulty defining the family business.

It is the standard aga... ... hiện toàn bộ

Why Research on Women Entrepreneurs Needs New Directions Research articles on women's entrepreneurship reveal, in spite of intentions to the contrary and in spite of inconclusive research results, a tendency to recreate the idea of women as being secondary to men and of women's businesses being of less significance or, at best, as being a complement. Based on a discourse analysis, this article discusses what research practices cause these resul... ... hiện toàn bộ

This article supplements these efforts and advances the argument that family–controlled firms’ competitive advantage arises from their system of corporate governance. Systems of corporate governance embody incentives, authority patterns, and norms of ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Agency Problems in Large Family Business Groups Greater managerial ownership in family firms need not mitigate agency problems, especially when each family controls a group of publicly traded and private firms, as is the case in most countries. Such structures give rise to their own set of agency problems, as managers act for the controlling family, but not for shareholders in general. For example, to avoid what we call “creative self–... ... hiện toàn bộ

Comparing the Agency Costs of Family and Non–Family Firms: Conceptual Issues and Exploratory Evidence Family involvement in a business has the potential to both increase and decrease financial performance due to agency costs. In this article we discuss the different nature of agency costs in family firms and specify the combination of conditions necessary to determine the relative levels of agency costs in family and non–family firms through the impacts of agency cost control mechanisms o... ... hiện toàn bộ

Family Involvement, Family Influence, and Family–Centered Non–Economic Goals in Small Firms Using behavioral and stakeholder theories, we suggest that family firms may have family–centered non–economic goals and that these goals could influence firm behaviors. This study extends the literature by hypothesizing that the essence of family influence partially mediates the relationship between family involvement and family firms’ adoption of family–centered non–economic goals. The r... ... hiện toàn bộ

Family Firms and Social Responsibility: Preliminary Evidence from the S&P 500Little is known about the impact of family ownership and management on corporate social performance. Some scholars have suggested that family firms are not likely to act in a socially responsible manner, while others have indicated that socially responsible behavior on the part of the family firm protects the family's assets. This preliminary study compares the degree to which family and n... ... hiện toàn bộ

Toward a Theory of Familiness: A Social Capital Perspective In the search for ways in which the family firm context is unique to organizational science, the construct of “familiness” has been identified and defined as resources and capabilities that are unique to the family's involvement and interactions in the business. While identification and isolation of a construct unique to family firms is both groundbreaking and important for family firm re... ... hiện toàn bộ
