versione breve
|
Our paper contributes to the overarching question: “How does
the family contribute to firm success?” We add to the
nomological net of the familiness construct, by reaching beyond the
components of involvement and the essence approach and by
introducing organizational identity as a third dimension of
familiness. As such, we investigate which families are most likely
to build familiness. Specifically, the organizational identity
dimension of familiness reflects how the family defines and views
the firm, which can facilitate performance advantages through
leveraging familiness both internally and externally. Lastly, we
discuss how the combinations of components of involvement, essence
and identity dimensions of familiness interact and explain why and
how some families are a key resource to their firms while others add
little value to their organizations.
