Venturing Motives and Venturing Types in Entrepreneurial Families: A Corporate Entrepreneurship Perspective
基于对39个创业案例中63位家族成员的访谈，揭示了驱动创业活动的独特动机，并展示了这些动机如何与六种异质性家族创业类型交织，同时分析了不同创业类型在定位、家庭支持、情感依恋和跨代意图上的差异。
Current research suggests that entrepreneurship in the family business context is mainly induced by top-down firm-level activity. We propose that entrepreneurial activity is also initiated autonomously as a bottom-up process by individual members or a group of individual members of an entrepreneurial family (EF). Building on 63 interviews with EF members involved in 39 venturing cases, we reveal a set of unique motives driving the venturing activity and show how these motives are intertwined with six heterogeneous family venture types. We also emphasize how positioning (i.e., inside or outside of family firms’ boundaries), family support, emotional attachment, and transgenerational intention vary among the different venture types.
