The history of a family and its business therefore pervades family business goals, practices, and outcomes, creating a close link between the history of family businesses, their present traditions, and future aspirations (De Massis et al., 2016; Jaskiewicz et al., 2015; Zellweger et al., 2012). Because of the prominence of history in family businesses, these firms have often been stigmatized as a form of business organization that is steadfast to its history and traditions, path dependent, conservative, resistant to changes and unable to adapt to dynamic and constantly evolving markets (Chandler, 1977; Morck & Yeung, 2003; Poza et al., 1997). Yet, family businesses remain dominant in any economy (La Porta et al., 1999), many of them are highly innovative (De Massis et al., 2018), resilient to crises, and equipped with the stamina to pursue entrepreneurial projects over generations (Jaskiewicz et al., 2016; Sinha, Jaskiewicz, Gibb, & Combs, 2020). The latter is consistent with emerging research suggesting that the history and traditions of families and their businesses do not have to be a rigid burden but, in some cases, can be a holy grail for enduring innovation and change (Erdogan et al., 2020; Jaskiewicz, Combs, & Ketchen, 2016; Suddaby & Jaskiewicz, 2020). While researchers thus recognize the paradoxical nature of the family business as an organization that can be burdened or empowered by history, theory on how history actually ties into family business’ tradition, change, and aspiration remains scarce (De Massis, Frattini, Kotlar, Messeni Petruzzelli, & Wright, 2016; Erdogan et al., 2020; Sinha et al., 2020; Suddaby, Coraiola, Harvey, & Foster, 2020; Suddaby & Jaskiewicz, 2020). One reason for this unsatisfactory status quo is the weak connection between history and family business scholarship that has limited current understanding of what family business scholars can learn from the wealth of history and historical research, and how they can integrate related learnings in the study of family business (e.g., Colli, 2003; Colli & Fernandez Perez, 2020). Considering the rapidly growing interest in studying the link between history and family businesses, we believe that it is warranted and timely to build a strong foundation for a history-informed approach to the study of family businesses, by which we refer to family business research that draws on historical research methods and/or leverages history as a key component (or variable) of theory or empirical analysis (Argyres et al., 2020; Sasaki et al., 2020; Sinha et al., 2020; Suddaby & Foster, 2017; Suddaby et al., 2020). 945053 FBRXXX10.1177/0894486520945053Family Business Review research-article2020","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"331 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0894486520945053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48343920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Managing Traditions: A Critical Capability for Family Business Success","authors":"R. Suddaby, Peter Jaskiewicz","doi":"10.1177/0894486520942611","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0894486520942611","url":null,"abstract":"Our purpose in this editorial is to draw attention to the powerful but undertheorized role played by traditions in family businesses. Our core argument is that traditions are the foundational element of successful family businesses. As we elaborate here, we believe that family business success and longevity are directly correlated with the capacity to successfully manage the creation, maintenance, and intergenerational transmission of traditions. Because of their unique nature, family business tensions are often intergenerational in character and, thus, rest on the family business’s capacity to integrate past, present, and future. We examine two key family business tensions in this editorial. The first is the tension between the need to maintain the business or innovate. De Massis et al. (2016) refer to this tension as the “innovation paradox,” but for reasons that will become obvious later, we refer to it as the Theseus paradox, a classic thought experiment from ancient Greek philosophy premised on the mythological hero best known for killing the Minotaur. The second is the tension between the need to honor the founder’s vision of the firm or adapt to the vision of the children. While this tension is commonly labelled as an issue of succession, we view the tension as broader and deeper than mere succession and term this tension the Oedipus paradox, a reference to another character of Greek myth who, in his efforts to save his city, unwittingly kills his father. While the two paradoxes derive from broader tensions of continuity versus change, they differ in that the first is premised on theories of path dependence and the second is premised on theories of imprinting. Traditions are the primary mechanism by which these tensions are navigated in family businesses. While research has acknowledged traditions as a distinguishing characteristic of family businesses (Lumpkin et al., 2008), the construct of traditions is only weakly theorized. In the absence of a strong theoretical frame, however, the empirical evidence of the role played by traditions in navigating these essential tensions of the family business remains unclear. We initiate the process of theorizing traditions in this editorial. We begin by describing how the hybrid structure of traditions as both structure (what gets transmitted across generations) and agency (the process of transmission) creates the opportunity to view traditions both as essentialist constructs that endure through time and as subjective constructs that are constantly being reinterpreted in an ever moving present. We then introduce the literature on rhetorical history that provides a framework explaining how the process of reinterpreting the past to manage the present actually occurs. Finally, we use this emergent theoretical framework to explain how traditions are used to resolve the Theseus paradox and the Oedipus paradox in family businesses.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"234 - 243"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0894486520942611","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46609590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a conceptual model of next-generation guilt in family business by building on family systems and identification theories. We test it with a scenario approach depicting an ethical dilemma. Our findings suggest that the less identified the next generation is with the family, the more likely vicarious guilt emerges. Guilt then leads to intentions of more responsible behaviors, such as reparative actions, apologies, and change in business practices. The implications encourage future research on family business guilt and moral decisions across generations.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"193 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0894486520941944","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45991281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we argue that more Machiavellian chief executive officers (CEOs) seek out strategic alliances—as doing so provides opportunities to manipulate, control, and exploit others—and that their tendency toward manipulative and controlling behaviors results in less sustainable alliances. We also argue that the effect of CEO Machiavellianism on the engagement and sustainability of strategic alliances is affected by operating in family firms. Since the owning family often intervenes and mitigates any concerns regarding the organization or its leadership, we argue that any concerns that alliance partners have regarding more Machiavellian CEOs will be weaker as family ownership increases; as such, we argue that as family ownership increases, the positive relationship between CEO Machiavellianism and strategic alliance engagement will be more strongly positive while the negative relationship between CEO Machiavellianism and alliance sustainability will be less strongly negative. Our study presents and tests a theory of how more Machiavellian CEOs affect the decisions surrounding strategic alliances by providing a novel antecedent of the decisions surrounding strategic alliances in family firms. We find support for our arguments with a sample of Standard & Poor’s 500 firms.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"93 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0894486520938890","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46749266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find evidence, based on rich qualitative data, suggesting that trust serves as a key construct in the relationship between family businesses and their advisors. In particular, we empirically show and theorize that trusting relationships evolve via a nonlinear process characterized by a constant interplay between cognitive and—increasingly important—affective assessments of family business trustors. The following types of trust emerge from these internal assessments: an intention to trust, which develops into perceived trust and finally results in behavioral trust.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"132 - 153"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0894486520938891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45883112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
