Moving Beyond Socioemotional Wealth: Toward a Normative Theory of Decision Making in Family Business
呼吁家族企业学者借鉴社会经济学和道德哲学，为家族所有者提供规范性指导，使其在追求自身利益的同时兼顾社会其他利益相关者的利益。
Business-owning families are widely believed to make decisions in order to increase their authority over, influence on, and identity with their businesses. Yet, because the resulting socioemotional wealth is intended to be enjoyed by the family alone, this view reflects a largely self-interested approach to decision making. We, therefore, call on family business scholars to leverage the work of social economists (i.e., Amitai Etzioni) and moral philosophers (i.e., Adam Smith) in order to develop normative guidance for family owners seeking to pursue their own interests as well as those of the other stakeholders in society to which they are accountable.
