“…The following studies, like Park et al . (2009), Kudlats et al (2014) and Hopkins and Ferguson (2014), show that the difference between average labor productivity and average labor cost is a statistically significant factor in firm performance. An increase in labor productivity is requisite for improving firm performance.…”

Purpose Entrepreneurial innovation has been the most important source for improvement in firm performance. Innovation in family firms has become the focal issue in firm strategy. In today’s high-velocity environment, the dynamic organizational adaptation is essential for sustainable competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nature of changes in external environment and the relationship between changes in the economic environment and family firms’ innovation in response to the environmental shift. Design/methodology/approach The authors designed a survey questionnaire to obtain primary data for the study. The survey consists of family firm structure, innovation drivers, governance, core competence and performance. Authors applied a random stratified sample method in selecting samples to reflect the population in family firms. Findings The study identified market conditions, technology and regulation as innovation drivers. The authors found that these innovation drivers have positive effects on family firm performance, although the technology variable is the only statistically significant variable at the conventional statistical significance level. Research limitations/implications The authors expected to have better response rate, and wish to have more observations. The authors would have stronger results if you could get more data. Practical implications Family firms need to respond to the high velocity of environment and to develop capabilities that understand the nature of changes in economic environment and take effective steps. The study findings offer guidelines for the managers of how to manage the firms in the dynamic environment. Social implications Family firms should use this results to develop strategies to deal with various economics situations. Originality/value The study identifies innovation drivers in family firms. The study contributes to finding and empirical testing of family firm innovation drivers. Findings of the study are valuable for managing the high velocity of today’s economic environment: changes in markets, technologies and regulations.

We extend relational demography theory by introducing kinship as a new demographic characteristic of categorization. We theorize that family firm employees’ kinship similarity (family vs. nonfamily), kinship tie (child vs. other familial relationship), and gender (female vs. male) uniquely affect their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Data collected from 209 family CEO–employee dyads indicate that male family employees, especially sons of the CEO, display the highest OCB when altruistic leadership behavior is high, whereas daughters and other female family employees display consistently high OCB, confirming that employees’ experiences in family firms are simultaneously shaped by their kinship characteristics and gender.

“…Table 5 shows results of the regression analysis for each area as well as for the total disclosure. Considering that we have ten independent variables and that our aim is to select those that have greater explanatory power over the dependent variable, the stepwise model regression has been used to select the predictive variables with an automatic procedure (Hopkins and Ferguson, 2014).…”

The present research aims to analyse and compare how austerity has influenced online sustainability information in Italy and Spain. Design: We relate austerity policies to online information in order to ascertain whether austerity plays a role in the financial, organizational, social and environmental information disclosed on local government websites. The research has been conducted by analysing the websites of all Italian and Spanish local governments with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Findings: The results show that institutional and legislative pressures, as well as austerity measures, have played a relevant role in the increased production of information by local governments, although not all information is fully provided. Originality/value: The results may be of interest to managers and politicians as a stimulus to increase the flow of information. They may also be useful to policy makers, regulators and other stakeholders in order to foment environmental information.
