The Internationalization of Family Firms
系统回顾了1980至2012年间72篇关于家族企业国际化的文献,整合社会情感财富理论与修订的Uppsala模型,提出一个理论框架来解释家族企业国际化的时机、方式及风险态度、知识与网络的作用。
This article systematically reviews and critically examines 72 journal articles published (from 1980 to 2012) on the internationalization of family firms. Stemming from existing literature, core aspects and main gaps are identified. We aim to overcome the inconclusiveness of findings of previous research by offering an integrative theoretical model integrating the concept of socioemotional wealth with the revised Uppsala model. Our framework helps understand behaviors of internationalizing family firms by focusing on when and how they internationalize, especially related to risk attitudes, the role of knowledge and networks. Ultimately, we provide future research themes flowing from our suggested model.
