Experiencing Family Business Creation: Differences between Founders, Nonfamily Managers, and Founders of Nonfamily Firms
从体验视角研究家族企业创建，提出家族企业作为“生活体验”产生一系列相互依赖的情感事件，并基于社会资本理论探讨创始人、非家族经理和非家族企业创始人在创业体验上的差异及其对决策和动态的影响。
An experiential perspective for examining family business creation is introduced. As a “lived experience,” the family firm generates a cumulative series of interdependent events that takes on properties rooted in affect. The family business is a context that enables unscripted temporal performances by founders. Characteristics of the venture creation experience are examined, and underlying dimensions are proposed and empirically investigated. Building on social capital theory, differences in experiences between founders of family businesses, nonfamily managers, and founders of nonfamily ventures are explored. These differences are argued to have important implications for decision making and ongoing dynamics within the family firm.
