Smfs inter firm relationships and technological change

Industrial production and industrial technological change are characterised by complex flows of technological know-how and finished innovations. There is a variety of inter-firm relationships of varying intensity and duration involving large firm-large firm, large firm-small firm and small firm-small firm interchanges. Certain large firm-small firm relationships electively combine the advantages of large and small firms in technological innovation.     

Intrapreneurship in the Spanish context: a regional analysis

The objective of this article is to examine the influence of internal and external (environmental) factors on intrapreneurship in the Spanish context, considering differences among regions. Methodologically, the study applies logistic regression and uses data from the Spanish Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for the year 2011. The main findings of the research show through a double conceptual framework (resource-based theory and institutional economics) the direct effect of both internal factors – opportunity recognition and social capital – and environmental factors – fear of failure and education – on intrapreneurship. In addition, the role of fear of failure is reinforced as it has the indirect (moderating) effect; this effect is particularly relevant in lower income regions. The study contributes both theoretically (developing literature and provoking discussion in the field of intrapreneurship) and empirically (providing useful insights for the design of governmental policies for fostering entrepreneurial activities within firms).     

Women Entrepreneurs: Can We Remove the Barriers?

Entrepreneurial activity among women continues to attract attention world wide. However, despite obvious gains, women lag behind men in business ownership and economic independence on every continent. This paper will review the research on entrepreneurship as a career choice for women, the motivations and career paths followed by women entrepreneurs, the attitudes and behaviors associated with successful ventures, the problems that persist and policies that conspire to keep women’s businesses few and small. A discussion of legislation and practices that have helped and hindered women’s entrepreneurship will follow, with suggestions for reframing the issues and reforming policies.     

The relationship between economic development and business ownership revisited

This paper revisits the two-equation model of Carree, van Stel, Thurik and Wennekers (2002) where deviations from the ‘equilibrium’ rate of business ownership play a central role in determining both the growth of business ownership and that of economic development. Two extensions of the original set-up are addressed: using longer time series of averaged data of 23 OECD countries (up to 2004) we can discriminate between different functional forms of the ‘equilibrium’ rate and we allow for different penalties for being above or under the ‘equilibrium’ rate. The additional data do not provide evidence of a superior statistical fit of a U-shaped ‘equilibrium’ relationship when compared to an L-shaped one. There appears to be a growth penalty for having too few business owners but not for having too many.     

家族企业跨代创业:类型与动因

家族企业作为具有跨代际持续发展意愿的企业形态,如何在传承的同时实现\"跨代际、持续地创造财富\"是主要研究课题,家族企业跨代创业研究应运而生。家族后代是实现跨代创业的重要主体,是家族创业的最终执行者。为探讨跨代创业问题,本文应用了扎根理论的研究方法,以4个家族企业为研究样本,对其一代、二代进行深度访谈,通过数据收集和译码过程,不断比较和理论抽样,基于资源基础观理论,构建了以\"家族企业跨代创业类型与动因\"为核心范畴的跨代创业二维选择模型,为未来家族企业传承及家族创业研究提供了有益的借鉴。     

家族企业公司治理模式对上市公司价值的影响

广东家族控制的上市公司的管理模式,主要有未聘用职业经理人、管理者和职业经理人并行,但家族控制、完全聘用职业经理人管理模式三种,目前有一半以上的企业未聘用职业经理人。通过比较三种不同公司治理模式,其中聘用职业经理人并实现所有权和控制权的完全分离是一种不错的选择;而采用聘用职业经理人但家族仍控制企业经营权的管理模式时,企业价值在总体平均上比由家族单独控制还要低。

公司创业新事业投资决策成败案例对比

聚焦于公司创业过程中的新事业投资决策过程,试图通过对比成败案例,揭示其决策过程的规律,尤其注重刻画创业决策者主体的决策表现及其特征。以口语回溯法和半结构化访谈相结合的手段,调研了13家企业负责人,遴选出两家成功企业与两家失败企业,作为案例采写的主要对象。通过详细的案例描述与对比,研究结果发现:①创业警觉性、以往知识和创新性认知风格是机会识别的关键性要素;②成功决策需兼顾创业机会的可行性和盈利性,决策者应更多采用变革式的新事业投资机会;③成功决策有赖于决策者高度内化的、富有洞察力的预见性,一旦有效识别机会,便会快速付诸于执行,果断排斥外在情境的干扰。     

董事会监督、债务水平与债务融资成本——来自审计委员会履职披露的证据

以2008—2021年中国家族企业为样本,研究二代涉入对家族企业国际化的影响。研究表明,二代涉入有助于家族企业选择国际化战略,并能加深其国际化程度,且这在具有海外背景的二代上体现得更为明显。进一步研究发现,二代涉入对家族企业国际化的促进作用在股权相对分散的家族企业以及制造业行业的家族企业中更为突出。研究丰富了二代涉入在家族控制与社会情感财富方面的理论发现,为中国家族企业国际化提供了新的经验证据。     

基于公司创业视角的核心企业生态优势构建

在动荡、融合的产业环境中,企业可以通过构建生态优势整合来源于外部的竞争能力,从而取得协同效应,放大自身的竞争优势。核心企业作为生态圈的主导企业,其生态优势的构建关乎整个系统的升级与创造。但是现实中,核心企业在生态圈自组织演化过程中取得的生态优势是残缺的、不持久的。鉴于公司创业精神与活动在核心企业重构生态圈的过程中提供了重要的支持,本文从公司创业的视角探讨生态圈的重构过程,并以此探讨核心企业构建生态优势的路径。研究表明：公司创业精神的渗透开启了核心企业构建生态优势的过程,并且公司创业的实现路径为构建生态优势提供了机会开发、平台开放以及资源整合三种动力机制,推动核心企业主动构建生态优势。本文研究拓宽了学界关于企业战略和商业生态系统之间关系的理解,刻画了范围更宽的战略边界,鼓励更多学者关注商业生态系统构建的问题。
