Extending the concept of familiness to relational capability: A Belgian micro-brewery study
通过分析文献和对比利时微型啤酒厂的案例研究，探讨家族性如何影响创业家族企业的关系能力发展，发现家族身份在其中的关键作用及六种关系过程。
While research in family businesses has focused on familiness as a resource with potential to generate competitive advantage, a gap exists in understanding how such value can be extended to wider business relationships. We contribute to an increased understanding of how familiness can influence the development of relational capability in entrepreneurial family firms. Using a business relational and family embedded perspective, we advance a conceptualisation of the link between familiness and relational capability based on an analysis of the extant literature and qualitative case research. The critical role of the family identity emerges through the empirical study. As such, we find six relational processes across family identity which link or mitigate the movement between familiness and relational capability. Theoretical and practical implications are offered.
