Resource Configuration in Family Firms: Linking Resources, Strategic Planning and Technological Opportunities to Performance
研究了家族企业特有的互惠利他主义和创新能力如何影响企业绩效，并发现战略规划和技术机会会调节这些资源的作用。
abstract We apply the resource‐based view of the firm to the study of family firms by investigating how a family specific resource (reciprocal altruism) and a firm specific resource (innovative capacity) contribute to family firm performance. We then examine how the impact of these resources is moderated by strategic planning and technological opportunities. Our findings suggest that family firms can benefit from emphasizing the positive aspects of kinship and from developing innovative capacities. As such, we demonstrate that not only do firm specific resources contribute to family firm performance, but also that family relationships can be a source of competitive advantage for a family firm. In addition, we found a heightened importance of reciprocal altruism in environments rich in technological opportunities, and that strategic planning is more important for those family firms that lack innovative capacities.
