Embracing outward FDI while continuing exports? The impact of heterogeneity and vulnerability in family firms
What factors prompt family firms to undertake change in their internationalization strategy? This study argues that type of management (family vs. nonfamily) and internal and external vulnerabilities in the environment significantly impact how family firms embrace outward FDI (OFDI) while continuing exports. Drawing on the mixed gamble perspective and utilizing a sample of listed family firms from India (n = 278), this study finds that family-managed firms, as compared to nonfamily or professionally managed firms, are less likely to embrace OFDI while maintaining their ongoing exports. Results further demonstrate that the likelihood of family-managed firms’ adoption of OFDI increases when they experience internal vulnerability (performance below aspirations) as well as external vulnerability (foreign competition). This study concludes by discussing the theoretical and managerial implications of the findings and highlighting fertile avenues of future research.
