Abstract

This study explores the open innovation (OI) choices in terms of partner-type, their determinants and the related innovation performance in family firms (FFs) with respect to non-FFs by means of a European cross-country survey. Results show that FFs are in general less open than non-FFs when we consider openness in terms of breadth, while they are more open when we consider openness in terms of depth. Distinctive determinants of depth for FFs regards the level of aggressiveness of their innovation strategy when scientific partners are considered. These partners are more important for FFs than for non-FFs to achieve efficiency-type performance. Moreover, a peculiar context shapes the relationship between partner-type depths and innovation performance: the external social capital (ESC) is more relevant for FFs to achieve novelty-type performance, while the internal social capital (ISC) exerts a particularly negative role for them when efficiency-type performance is considered.
在开放式创新时代,家族企业和非家族企业有什么区别吗?欧洲制造企业的经验教训
本文通过一项欧洲跨国调查,探讨了家族企业相对于非家族企业在合作伙伴类型、决定因素和相关创新绩效方面的开放式创新选择。结果表明,当我们从广度上考虑开放性时,FFs通常比非FFs更不开放,而当我们从深度上考虑开放性时,它们更开放。当考虑到科学合作伙伴时,企业创新深度的独特决定因素是其创新战略的侵略性水平。这些合作伙伴对于ff而言比非ff更重要,以实现效率型绩效。此外,合作伙伴类型深度与创新绩效之间存在特殊的关系背景:外部社会资本(ESC)对合作伙伴实现新颖性绩效更为重要,而内部社会资本(ISC)在考虑效率型绩效时对合作伙伴实现新颖性绩效的作用尤为不利。
