Abstract

The operating goals of family firms (FFs) typically include building both economic and socioemotional wealth. Innovation is increasingly recognized as a key source for the development and growth of family firms. From the multiple dimensions of socioemotional wealth (SEW), this research has focused on how family influences a particular type of innovation – green innovation – in family firms. Using 5,071 observations from among the listed firms in Taiwan over an eight-year period (2014–2021), we examined the relationships between FFs and green innovation. The results indicate that FFs are more likely to develop green innovation than their nonfamily counterparts. In particular, there are complicated effects within different types of FFs – control deviation family firms (CDFFs).

摘要

摘要

家族企业的运营目标主要有两个：一是创造经济财富，另一个是建立社会情感财富。近年来，创新越来越被认为是家族企业发展壮大的关键因素。基于社会情感财富的多维度视角，本研究特别聚焦于探索家族是如何影响企业的绿色创新的。我们使用了5，071个来自台湾上市企业从2014-2021年的观察数据，来检验家族企业与绿色创新之间的关系。结果表明，与非家族同类企业相比，家族企业有更多的绿色创新。特别有趣的是，不同类型的家族企业 – 控制偏离家族企业，对绿色创新表现出复杂的效果。
