PublicationThe Link Between Family Firm Dynamics, Image and Firm Performance(SMS Strategic Management Society, 2011-11-06)
;Memili, Esra ;Kellermanns, Franz W. ;Eddleston, Kimberley H.In this study, we draw upon organizational identity theory to examine factors that lead to the creation of family firm image and investigate how a family firm image impacts firm performance. We find that family firm pride, community social ties, and long-term orientation are positively associated with the likelihood that a firm portrays itself as a family business to consumers and stakeholders. In turn, we find that a family firm image benefits firm performance. Thus, our study demonstrates that by building a family firm image the unique family influences on the firm can be leveraged to create a competitive advantage for family firms.Type: conference paper -
PublicationHow much and what kind of entrepreneurial orientation is needed for family business continuity?(International Family Enterprise Research Academy (IFERA), 2008-07-02)
;Mühlebach, CorinneThe present paper examines to what degree the Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) construct is prolific in explaining business activity of firms with a transgenerational outlook. In particular, we are challenging the fundamental claim by entrepreneurship scholars that the more entrepreneurial a firm is, hence the higher it scores in the five EO dimensions, the more successful it should be in the long-run.Type: conference paper -
