摘要

目的本研究旨在发展理论,从而解决目前有关家族企业对创业生态系统(EEs)影响的知识空白。鉴于家族企业在全球无处不在,而在创业生态系统和家族企业文献的交叉领域却缺乏理论发展,因此缩小这种差距既及时又有意义。通过在命题理论化方法中运用社会资本理论,本文提出了独特的命题,丰富了当前对 EE 现象的理解。第一步,借鉴社会资本理论,确定与企业和家族企业相关的多个分析层次,勾勒出我们的概念。第二步借鉴相关文献,精确确定理论化过程中使用的构造。研究结果作为我们的命题理论化方法的结果,我们提出了 10 个理论命题,以解释创业企业中家族成员、非家族企业家、家族企业和新企业之间的互动关系,从而将重点放在创业企业的社会要素上,降低了其概念的复杂性,同时扩大了家族社会资本在创业企业中的解释力。通过在此背景下进行理论化,我们解释了家庭成员、非家族企业家、家族企业和新企业之间的社会互动机制,以及这种互动如何可能更好地利用企业外部环境中尚未开发的资源。此外,我们的理论分析还指出了尚未充分探索的研究领域,为未来学者的研究铺平了道路。 本文对有志于制定平衡、包容和有效的创业环境政策和干预措施的从业人员和决策者具有现实意义。我们的理论提出了一些见解,这些见解补充了自下而上的方法,即国家为家族企业等行为者发挥促进作用,对其环境影响产生积极影响。这项研究既及时又必要,因为如果不加以解决,将导致无效且可能具有排斥性的政策和环境教育干预措施。我们通过命题理论化的理论发展模式,加强了两个新兴研究领域之间的联系。在宏大理论--社会资本理论--的假设下,我们强调了家族企业与其他环境参与者之间在环境企业中的社会互动所带来的益处。

Exploring the uncharted influence of family social capital in entrepreneurial ecosystems

Purpose

The purpose of this research is to develop theory, thereby attending to the existing knowledge gap regarding the impact of family firms on entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). Reducing such a gap is both timely and relevant given the ubiquity of family firms across the globe and the lack of theoretical development at the intersection of EE and family firm literatures. By employing social capital theory in a propositional theorizing approach, this article presents unique propositions that enrich current understanding of the EE phenomenon.

Design/methodology/approach

Our method adopts a three-step propositional theorizing approach. The first step outlines our conceptualization, drawing on social capital theory and identifying multiple levels of analysis pertaining to EEs and family firms. The second step precisely identifies the constructs used for the theorization process, drawing upon relevant literature. The third step involves proposition building, which produces our findings.

Findings

As a result of our propositional theorizing method, we developed 10 theoretical propositions to explain interactions between family members, nonfamily entrepreneurs, family firms and new ventures in the EE, thereby focusing on the social elements of the EE and reducing its conceptual complexity while extending the explanatory power of family social capital in the EE.

Research limitations/implications

Despite being increasingly relevant in research, policy and practice discourse, EEs remain under theorized. By theorizing in this context, we provide explanations of the mechanisms to explain social interactions between family members, nonfamily entrepreneurs, family firms and new ventures and how such interactions are likely to provide better access to the untapped resources in the EE. Furthermore, our theorization also identifies underexplored research areas paving the way for future scholars.

Practical implications

This article is relevant to practitioners and policymakers interested in creating balanced, inclusive and effective EE policies and interventions. Our theorization generates insights that complement a bottom-up approach where the state assumes a facilitating role for actors such as family firms to positively impact their EE. This research is both timely and necessary because, if unaddressed, it will lead to ineffective and potentially exclusionary policies and EE interventions.

Originality/value

We contribute to the literature by synthesizing the two domains and thereby advancing knowledge at the intersection of EE and family firm literatures. We strengthen the link between two burgeoning research areas through a propositional theorizing mode of theory development. Under the assumptions of a grand theory, social capital theory, we highlight the benefits that derive from social interactions in the EE between family firms and other EE actors.
