Emotions and Family Business Creation: An Extension and Implications
扩展了Morris等人的研究，提出家族创始人、非家族经理和非家族创始人在创业初期的情绪差异，可能解释家族与非家族企业及家族企业间的风险行为差异，并影响企业长期文化、战略和决策。
Morris, Allen, Kuratko, and Brannon found that family founders, nonfamily managers working in family firms, and nonfamily founders experience a wide range of emotions during the first 4 years of establishing a new business. They identify differences in the emotional experiences of these three groups. I extend their findings by suggesting that divergent emotional experiences may explain differences in risk–taking behavior between family and nonfamily firms, and between family firms. Furthermore, I suggest that family founders‘ early emotional experiences may affect the firm's culture, strategy, and decision–making processes well beyond the start–up phase.
