Abstract

Purpose This study aims to investigate the generalizability of Daniela Weismeier-Sammer’s (2011) replication study on entrepreneurial behavior and extended the model by considering the adoption of a technology platform as a moderator in the Indian family entrepreneurship community. Design/methodology/approach The earlier replication study was conducted in Austria, and this one has been conducted in India with 372 respondents of Indian family firms. The study has used the structural equation modeling technique for analysis purposes. The study has also used multi-group analysis for understanding the moderator impact. Findings Willingness to change, generational involvement, perceived technological opportunities and corporate entrepreneurship for the Indian family business community, along with strategic planning, as a moderating factor, formed the earlier model. In the context of strategic planning, this study observes a similarity, but due to the consideration of the additional moderator, the role of generational involvement has become insignificant. Research limitations/implications This study adds value to the overall body of literature on the family business community, digital entrepreneurship and technology adoption in the family business community. The study provides valuable inputs on the digital entrepreneurship and family business firms which could be used by entrepreneurs, policymakers and practitioners for different purposes. The sample size is small and India specific so the proposed model cannot be generalizable. Originality/value This study has used replication and validation techniques in the digital entrepreneurship community and new venture creation in the Indian context. Very few studies have explored the digital entrepreneurship phenomenon in the Indian family business community context. Also, the use of adoption of technology platform as a moderator enhances the model from the earlier study. Thus, this study is deemed to be a unique research study.
印度社区家族企业的创业行为:采用技术平台作为调节因素
本研究旨在考察Daniela Weismeier-Sammer(2011)创业行为复制研究的普遍性,并通过考虑采用技术平台作为调节因素对印度家庭创业社区的模型进行扩展。设计/方法/方法较早的复制研究是在奥地利进行的,而这一研究是在印度进行的,有372名印度家族企业的受访者。本研究采用结构方程建模技术进行分析。本研究亦采用多组分析来了解调节因子的影响。改变的意愿、世代参与、感知到的技术机遇和印度家族企业社区的企业创业精神,以及作为调节因素的战略规划,形成了早期的模式。在战略规划的背景下,本研究发现了相似之处,但由于考虑了额外的调节因素,代际参与的作用变得微不足道。研究局限/启示本研究为家族企业社区、数字创业和家族企业社区技术采用的整体文献增加了价值。该研究为数字创业和家族企业提供了宝贵的投入,可供企业家、政策制定者和从业者用于不同目的。样本量很小,而且是印度特有的,因此所提出的模型不能推广。原创性/价值本研究在印度的数字创业社区和新创企业中使用了复制和验证技术。很少有研究探讨印度家族企业社区背景下的数字创业现象。此外,采用技术平台作为调节因子,增强了前期研究的模型。因此,本研究被认为是一项独特的研究。
