Culture of Family Commitment and Strategic Flexibility: The Moderating Effect of Stewardship
基于248家家族企业数据，发现家族对企业的承诺文化能提升战略灵活性，且管家导向的组织文化会强化这一正向关系。
The ability of family firms to identify and respond to changes in their external environments can be a key source of competitive advantage leading to success and survival. Some research, however, has suggested family firms are conservative and often lack the ability to adapt to their changing competitive environments. Using data from 248 family firms, we found a family firm's culture of commitment to the business is positively associated with its strategic flexibility—the ability to pursue new opportunities and respond to threats in the competitive environment. Further, we found stewardship–oriented organizational culture positively moderated the family commitment–strategic flexibility relationship.
