“…Moreover, recent family business authors (e.g. Brinkerink et al, 2022) advocate for replication studies to gain new insights into our understanding of family firms. In addition to examining the impacts of SEWi, replication studies that incorporate curvilinear effects when evaluating previously validated moderation models hold the potential to stimulate novel perspectives and enrich our understanding of various constructs within family business research.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the effects of socio-emotional wealth importance (SEWi) in family firms and family firm-specific HR practices, namely professionalization and bifurcation bias, on their entrepreneurial orientation (EO).Design/methodology/approachThe paper surveyed 133 small and medium-sized family firms in the USA. The respondents were recruited through Prolific Academic.FindingsWhen SEWi is low, a family firm becomes more similar to a non-family firm, thereby enjoying the benefits associated with EO. When SEWi is high, a family firm leverages the unique resources and capabilities specific to family firms. Moderate SEWi levels are associated with lower EO levels. Additionally, the results support the argument that professionalization (involving non-family managers, formalization and decentralization) fosters EO, while bifurcation bias hinders its development.Originality/valueUnlike previous studies, this paper posits a non-linear, U-shaped relationship between SEWi and EO. It contributes to the field by empirically investigating the effects of professionalization and bifurcation bias on EO in family firms.

“…Last but not least, with this study, we hope to pave the way for a greater propensity to replicate relevant studies and help solve the replication crisis in family business research (Brinkerink et al, 2022). Although an extremely valuable tool for knowledge creation and extension, replication studies remain an overlooked aspect of the scientific method (Coffman et al, 2017;Mueller-Langer et al, 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, replication is especially relevant when the object is "prior work that is both highly influential and in need of theory improvement" (Dau et al, 2021, p. 222). The need to validate published conceptual arguments (Hambrick, 2007) is even greater in the family business field where scholars have the tendency to build on the empirical results of a few seminal studies, and the risk of false positives can negatively affect the resulting managerial and policy implications (Brinkerink et al, 2022).…”

Ownership, governance, and internationalization in family firms: a replication and extension

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In one of the most influential studies on family firm internationalization, Sciascia et al. (2012) advance a curvilinear relationship between family ownership and firm internationalization. We replicate their study adopting a three-step approach. First, we use the same measures on a different sample to test the generalizability of their findings. Second, we change the independent variable and hypothesize a negative relationship between family involvement in the board of directors and firm internationalization. Third, we introduce and measure the moderating role of firm age and firm size in this relationship. Our study advances the family firm internationalization literature both theoretically and methodologically. Theoretically, we show that it is not so much family ownership per se, but the influence the family obtains through board directorship that affects the family firm internationalization strategy. In addition, we show that this effect is moderated by firm age and size. Methodologically, our study is an important step forward toward increasingly transparent and replicable family business research.

“…iii) Ownership Politics and 'Migration': Families that are farther removed from what the company does are moving into management of family enterprises as they develop, and the clans that own them grow more intricate[19]. It leads to significant conflict in these organizations' management issues.…”

Purpose: In light of this, the current study aims to evaluate the management practices of major family business operations in India. Theoretical references: Cadbury (1992) defines business governance as the operational and managerial framework of an organization guided by its purpose and principles. Methods: The research scrutinizes governance practices of major family firms on the Bombay Stock Exchange, concentrating on the top 30 contributing to the SENSEX. Governance factors include board structure, meeting frequency, market capitalization, and social responsibility initiatives. Results: The findings provide insights into the corporate governance strategies of Indian family-run enterprises, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their governance practices. The study underscores the need for enhanced gender diversity and sustained adherence to governance norms. Limitations of Research: The limitations of this study include a potential lack of generalizability due to the focus on specific family-run companies in the Indian context. Originality: This study unveils the corporate governance dynamics within Indian family businesses, showcasing their adherence to ethical practices, compliance with regulatory frameworks, and distinctive governance patterns.
