Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 38 Số 6 - Trang 1295-1316 - 2014
Cristina Cruz, Martín Larraza‐Kintana, Lucía Garcés–Galdeano, Pascual Berrone
This paper conducts an empirical study as to whether family firms are more socially responsible than their nonfamily counterparts and explores the conditions in which this difference in social behavior occurs. We argue that family firms, given their socioemotional wealth bias, have a positive effect on social dimensions linked to external stakeholders, yet have a negative impact on interna...... hiện toàn bộ
Everyday Entrepreneurship—A Call for Entrepreneurship Research to Embrace Entrepreneurial Diversity
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 41 Số 3 - Trang 311-321 - 2017
Friederike Welter, Ted Baker, David B. Audretsch, William B. Gartner
This essay contrasts a perspective that places an excessive focus on technology businesses and growth with a view of entrepreneurship that embraces its heterogeneity. We challenge a taken–for–granted belief that only certain kinds of entrepreneurship might lead to wealth and job creation and additionally suggest that these two outcomes (wealth and job creation) need to be placed within a ...... hiện toàn bộ

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 63-76 - 2001
Sue Birley
This paper reports the results of a 16-country study into the attitudes of owner-managers to both business and family decisions. Three clusters of attitudes emerged—those who wished to involve their family, those who wished to strike a balance, and those who wished to exclude the family. The paper concludes that there is a set of attitudes towards the family and the business that consiste...... hiện toàn bộ
Corporate Governance and Competitive Advantage in Family–Controlled Firms
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 249-265 - 2005
Michael Carney
Recent attempts to identify the basis of family–controlled firms’ competitive advantage have drawn upon the resource–based view of the firm. 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
Family Firm Research: The Need for a Methodological Rethink
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 31-56 - 1998
Paul Westhead, Marc Cowling
The scale of family company activity in the United Kingdom was measured with regard to several family firm definitions. This study confirms that family companies are a numerically important group of businesses. Policy makers and practitioners must, however, be aware that the scale of family firm activity in any developed economy is highly sensitive to the family firm definition selected. W...... hiện toàn bộ
Trends and Directions in the Development of a Strategic Management Theory of the Family Firm
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 29 Số 5 - Trang 555-575 - 2005
James J. Chrisman, Jess H. Chua, Pramodita Sharma
This article provides a review of important trends in the strategic management approach to studying family firms: convergence in definitions, accumulating evidence that family involvement may affect performance, and the emergence of agency theory and the resource–based view of the firm as the leading theoretical perspectives. We conclude by discussing directions for future research and oth...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparing the Agency Costs of Family and Non–Family Firms: Conceptual Issues and Exploratory Evidence
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 28 Số 4 - Trang 335-354 - 2004
James J. Chrisman, Jess H. Chua, Reginald A. Litz
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
The Determinants of Corporate Entrepreneurial Intention within Small and Newly Established Firms
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 387-414 - 2012
Riccardo Fini, Rosa Grimaldi, Gian Luca Marzocchi, Maurizio Sobrero
In this article, we study the determinants of corporate entrepreneurial intention (CEI) within small and newly established firms. Given that in these ventures, entrepreneurial activities usually occur as a result of individuals’ behaviors, the CEI of their founders is key to explaining these companies’ ability to become engaged in entrepreneurial actions. Building on the theory of planned...... hiện toàn bộ
Strategic Use of Corporate Venturing
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 183-207 - 2007
Jeffrey G. Covin, Morgan P. Miles
Corporate venturing (CV) is said to be most productive as a path to superior corporate performance when practiced in a strategic manner. Unfortunately, considerable ambiguity exists concerning what it means in an organizational practice sense to strategically pursue CV. The result is a failure of many companies to fully leverage CV for strategic purposes. Based on a review of the CV liter...... hiện toàn bộ
Living the Dream? Assessing the “Entrepreneurship as Emancipation” Perspective in a Developed Region
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice - Tập 40 Số 1 - Trang 81-110 - 2016
Jennifer E. Jennings, Andrew J. Hoffman, Manely Sharifian
This paper seeks to stimulate additional research on the entrepreneurship–as–emancipation perspective. We extend extant work by specifying the practices within developed regions from which entrepreneurs arguably pursue liberation and then developing hypotheses pertaining to the incidence, determinants, and outcomes associated with departure from such norms. Our survey findings offer evide...... hiện toàn bộ
