Abstract [en]

In this study, we seek to understand firm behaviour during times of crisis, with a particular focus on family firms in different contexts. We theorize that family control mitigates (i.e. negatively moderates) the relationship between economic crisis and the layoff of employees, resulting in a higher propensity of family firms to retain their employees during a crisis compared to their nonfamily counterparts. Furthermore, taking a closer look at family firms, based on their location, we argue that family firms in rural regions are more likely to adopt measures leading to involuntary job turnover than family firms in urban areas due to a higher sensitivity to the loss of socioemotional wealth following a business closure. Relying on a panel dataset of Swedish private firms active in the period 2004-2012, our study contributes to a better understanding of family firms as employers in different contexts.

Abstract [en]

Over the past decades the field of family business has witnessed a surge in publications and experienced meaningful changes that have served to increase its legitimacy and establish the field as an independent area of academic inquiry. Along with these advancements, scholars have called for experimental research designs that can reveal the influence of individual-level, microfoundational phenomena underlying macro-level family business phenomena. Given the challenge of conducting such studies, the event-sampling method with experimental design (ESME) approach is highlighted as a new opportunity for family business scholars to further enrich their methodological toolbox. Fundamentally, the ESME approach is a longitudinal, repeated-sampling method with experimental design that provides researchers with the opportunity to investigate the effects of various micro-level phenomena within the family business. By facilitating the incorporation of familial variables and processual elements in family business research, the ESME approach can account for the longitudinal and dynamic interplay of family and family business phenomena. Overall, ESME is a method with the potential to help researchers answer many of the “how” questions that remain unanswered in the field of family business. A description of ESME is offered, relevant challenges and opportunities in family business research are identified, and best practices for ESME are shared to support the work of family business scholars.

Abstract [en]

It is believed that workplace creativity and innovation are fostered by positive leader behaviours and positive workplace relationships and hindered by the opposite. However, some challenge this view, arguing that creativity and innovation can actually be fostered when employees experience what is increasingly referred to as the dark side of leadership and workplace mistreatment. Research on this area is sparse, contradictory and overly confusing. We begin by defining the dark side of leadership and then provide a comprehensive systematic review of 145 empirical studies on the topic. We review research on a broad range of constructs related to leadership and workplace mistreatment, such as abusive supervision, authoritarian leadership, destructive leadership, narcissistic leadership and relationship conflict. Our review reports the main effects, summarizes the results of the mediating and moderating variables, and highlights methodological shortcomings of the past literature. On this basis, several recommendations are made to advance this field of research.

Abstract [en]

Enabling collaboration across disciplines, business functions, departments, organizations, and industries is a critical innovation management challenge. Successful innovation depends on effective knowledge integration among diverse actors. The concept of boundary objects to achieve knowledge integration has gained increasing popularity within innovation management. Despite the growing relevance, existing literature reviews about boundary objects are sparse. This review examines how boundary objects enable knowledge integration through a systematic analysis. An integrating framework of the scholarship on boundary objects links existing contributions to key theoretical perspectives on the study of boundary spanning for knowledge integration. Relevant publications are identified through a systematic literature review and discussed according to three themes: information processing, cognitive, and learning perspective on knowledge integration. Potential contributions to broader theorizing are highlighted in relation to three innovation settings: cross-functional collaboration, open innovation, and staged product development processes.

Abstract [en]

In the present study we argue that a more fine-grained perspective, taking into account different situations of family members’ involvement and the actual implementation of HRM practices and policies, is needed to provide an accurate picture of family firms as employers. Our study is carried out on a unique sample of 849 family firms in Italy and focuses on the conditions and consequences of adopting mutuality-promoting HRM practices in the family business context.

Abstract [en]

One key feature defining the nature of academic spin-off (ASO) is the pursuing of non-economic results relevant to the academic context. However, both the drivers and performance outcomes of such academic goals remain unexplored. To address this gap, we hypothesize that academic goals present both benefits and costs for these firms’ profitability (leading to an inverted U-shaped relationship), while they are positively related with publication performance. We also argue that the goal-performance relationship is moderated by academic ownership. Finally, we propose that the importance of academic goals is determined by ASO founders’ prior exposure to academia and entrepreneurship. We find overall support for our hypotheses on a representative and unique sample of 123 Italian ASOs, thereby contributing to literature on academic entrepreneurship.

Abstract [en]

By integrating organizational learning theory with the family firm literature, we seek to enhance our understanding of radical innovation in (multi)family-owned firms. We theorize that the goal diversity and path dependency that multifamily ownership creates negatively affects the positive relationship between knowledge integration and radical innovation. However, this is not the case for multifamily-owned firms in which family members embrace a commitment to change. We contend that commitment to change mitigates the negative moderating effect of multifamily ownership by ensuring the effective translation of integrated knowledge into radical innovation within the firm. Overall, our results highlight the complexity of radical innovation in (multi)family-owned firms as a product of the joint effect of knowledge integration, the number of unrelated owning families, and a commitment to change.

Abstract [en]

There is an increasing interest in the phenomenon of immigrant entrepreneurship. Despite the growing number of studies, the financing aspect of immigrant entrepreneurship is still an emergent subject. In this paper, we critically and systematically review the field of the entrepreneurial financing of immigrant entrepreneurs. For this purpose, we conduct a two-step analysis of 37 systematically selected articles. In the first step, we provide an overall description of the field, while in the second step we perform a SWOT analysis on different aspects of the field, including the units of analysis, the main questions, and the use of theories and methods in the field. The review identifies gaps and weaknesses in the field, suggests potential opportunities for future research, and highlights some threats that could impede the implementation of future opportunities. Finally, the review suggests further questions to be explored for future advancement of knowledge in the field.
