Abstract

Studies analyzing the entrepreneurial orientation of family businesses compared to their nonfamily counterparts have contributed to spreading the myth that family firms are less entrepreneurially oriented. However, the distinctive aspects characterizing the entrepreneurial orientation of family firms have received less scholarly attention. Aiming to advance this literature stream, this study postulates that family businesses are neither more nor less entrepreneurially oriented than nonfamily firms but express their entrepreneurial orientation differently, even when manifesting a similar level of entrepreneurial orientation. Building on entrepreneurial orientation studies and adopting a family embeddedness perspective, our multi-case study of 10 small artisan family firms with a high entrepreneurial orientation shows that family firms express their entrepreneurial orientation according to a set of interplaying firm- and family-level factors. The relationship among these factors leads to three different entrepreneurial orientation configurations: generational clash, family mirroring, and evolutionary adaptation. Our study of these configurations and the underlying nuances provide novel contributions to the literature and several implications for practice.

小型手工业家族企业创业导向的不同配置:一个多案例研究
与非家族企业相比,分析家族企业的创业导向的研究有助于传播家族企业创业导向较少的神话。然而,家族企业创业导向的独特方面却很少受到学术界的关注。为了推进这一文献流,本研究假设,家族企业与非家族企业相比,既没有更多也没有更少的创业导向,但他们表达创业导向的方式不同,即使表现出相似的创业导向水平。在创业导向研究的基础上,采用家族嵌入视角,我们对10家具有高度创业导向的小型手工家族企业进行了多案例研究,结果表明,家族企业根据一组企业和家族层面的相互作用因素来表达其创业导向。这些因素之间的关系导致了三种不同的创业取向配置:代际冲突、家庭镜像和进化适应。我们对这些配置和潜在细微差别的研究为文献提供了新的贡献,并为实践提供了一些启示。
