Managing the Yin and Yang of family capital: a study of Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs
通过对2000至2014年间登陆加拿大的中国移民进行深度访谈,研究了企业家如何体验并管理家族资本的正反两面,识别出五种应对悖论的策略。
Family capital can provide positive resources for entrepreneurship; however, it can also bring negative consequences that hinder the growth of a new venture. We investigated how entrepreneurs experienced and managed the positives and negatives of family capital through in-depth semi-structured interviews with Chinese immigrants who landed in Canada between 2000 and 2014. We contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by highlighting the paradoxical nature of family capital, and by identifying five strategies that entrepreneurs employed to manage the paradox.
