商品描述

This book pursues an interdisciplinary approach to studying family firms as a particular type of business strongly embedded in the territories in which they are located. Featuring an in-depth analysis of original research, the book employs both theoretical and empirical approaches to explore family firms and their relationships with their home territories. The book shows that family firms have unique bonds with their local areas, and these bonds profoundly shape their decision-making and outcomes.

The book addresses two research questions, namely, how the connections between family firms and their home territories originate and develop, and how they influence firms' economic performance and their corporate social responsibility initiatives. Uniquely, it seeks to develop an integrated framework that brings together family firms, local contexts, and places while also presenting new empirical evidence of relevance to scholars, managers, and policymakers alike. In addition, the book responds to the need for a greater understanding of what anchors entrepreneurial families to their home territories and the conditioning effect of local roots on such firms' behavior.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書採取跨學科的方法來研究家族企業,這是一種深深植根於其所處地區的特定商業類型。書中深入分析了原創研究,運用理論與實證的方法來探討家族企業及其與本地區的關係。書中顯示,家族企業與當地社區之間存在獨特的聯繫,這些聯繫深刻影響了它們的決策和結果。

本書針對兩個研究問題進行探討,即家族企業與其本地區之間的聯繫是如何產生和發展的,以及這些聯繫如何影響企業的經濟表現和企業社會責任倡議。獨特的是,本書旨在發展一個綜合框架,將家族企業、本地情境和地點結合在一起,同時提供對學者、管理者和政策制定者都具有相關性的新的實證證據。此外,本書回應了對於更深入理解創業家庭如何與其本地區緊密相連以及當地根基對這類企業行為的影響的需求。
