Looking at the Sky: An Ethnographic Study of How Religiosity Influences Business Family Resilience
通过一项中东信仰导向家族企业的独特民族志研究,探讨宗教信仰如何影响商业家族抵抗和反弹环境冲击的方式,识别宗教角色期望作为家族企业特殊主义反应的关键驱动因素。
Despite the growing interest in resilience in the family business context, little attention has been devoted to understanding the influence of religion on the way business families respond to adverse environments. We use a unique ethnography of a Middle Eastern faith-led family firm to investigate how religiosity influences the way the business family resists and rebounds from environmental shocks. We identify religious role expectations as a pivotal driver of particularistic responses in family firms to advance a religious-based foundation for business family resilience.
