Abstract

Family-owned enterprises face a growingly turbulent context, prompting them to develop adaptive capabilities and sustain their competitive advantages amidst shifting dynamics. Specifically, the tourism sector, which comprises many family businesses, has been greatly affected by the ever-changing environment. In that sense, the analysis of the idiosyncratic characteristics of family firms in dynamic capabilities development that influence the innovation of hotels is of particular relevance. This study aims to assess how family engagement affects the development of dynamic capabilities of hotels and their subsequent relationship with innovative performance within hotel chains. The results indicate that family engagement influences dynamic capabilities through a nonlinear relationship. Also, a favorable association is evidenced between these dynamic capabilities, characterized by hotels' adeptness in discerning and capitalizing on environmental opportunities through resource reconfiguration, and the resultant innovations within the hotel sector.

驾驭复杂性：揭示酒店行业家庭参与与动态能力之间的非线性关系

家族企业面临着日益动荡的环境，促使他们发展适应能力，并在不断变化的动态中保持竞争优势。具体来说，由许多家族企业组成的旅游业受到不断变化的环境的极大影响。从这个意义上说，分析家族企业在动态能力发展中影响酒店创新的特殊特征是特别相关的。本研究旨在评估家庭参与如何影响酒店动态能力的发展及其与连锁酒店创新绩效的后续关系。结果表明，家庭参与对动态能力的影响呈非线性关系。此外，这些动态能力之间也存在着良好的关联，其特点是酒店善于通过资源重新配置来识别和利用环境机会，并由此在酒店部门内进行创新。
