Book excerpt: Esta tesis se compone de tres trabajos empíricos, cada uno de los cuales presenta un análisis diferenciado sobre el tema de innovación en las empresas familiares y gobierno corporativo. Nuestro objetivo es proporcionar evidencia sobre bajo qué circunstancias, propietarios y gerentes pueden mejorar la innovación de una empresa. El primer artículo estudia cómo el tipo de diferentes propietarios impacta en la innovación de una empresa, explorando también el efecto moderador de las contingencias de poder en esta relación. El segundo artículo se centra en las empresas familiares, e investigamos cómo los directivos no familiares en estas empresas se comportan ante la innovación y cómo los sistemas descentralizados de toma de decisiones pueden moderar su comportamiento. Finalmente, el tercer trabajo examina "la paradoja de la capacidad y la voluntad" en la innovación de las empresas familiares. En este capítulo evaluamos el impacto de la implicación familiar en las capacidades e innovación y ofrecemos recomendaciones útiles a empresas familiares sobre cómo afrontar eficazmente sus desafíos específicos de gobernabilidad mientras siguen siendo innovadoras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three essays on issues related to the corporate governance of family firms. The first essay explores how owners-managers of family firms conceptualize and define their firms. Understanding the essence of a family firm helps us better understand their governance and behaviour. This essay contributes to the family business literature by presenting the seven most important criteria in identifying a family business (Handler 1989; Shanker & Astrachan 1996), namely: family ownership, control, involvement, succession, long-term vision, founders' legacy, and extended family of employees. The essay also contributes a familiness measurement tool that can be used in future research aiming at better understanding the family firm. The second essay investigates how management control technologies are calibrated in accordance with the sometimes conflicting economic and noneconomic goals resulting from the dual identities of family firms. The results show that family firms calibrate pervasive management control technologies, such as calculative, family-centric or procedural controls to strengthen the business identity and reduce the family identity of their family business. In comparison, the minimal use, or perceived absence, of management control technologies suggest that it accentuates and fosters family identity. Hence, reverting to management control technologies becomes related in a unilateral way to the business identity of the firm, despite the dual control ambition of family firms. The third essay analyzes CEO and TMT compensation practices to identify patterns that can explain the gap between family firms and the pool of external highly qualified executives. The data analysis highlights a connection between the degree of family ownership, the composition of the BOD, and the identity of the CEO. The results also show that family firms rely more heavily on cash-based awards than on equity-based awards as a form of CEO and TMT compensation. Family firms are reluctant to use option-based rewards and the use of share-based awards is also kept at a minimum. Other evidence point towards a role that institutional ownership plays in restructuring the compensation packages of the TMTs at family firms. Keywords: Family Firms, Definition of Family Firms, Family Firm Identity, Management Control Technologies, Corporate Governance, Executive Compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes should be required reading for anyone with an interest in international business and globalisation. They add immeasurably to our understanding. Mira Wilkins, Business History Dunning is one of the most prominent researchers and thinkers in the IB field. In these books, he has set out his most celebrated writings and has provided us relatively easy access to widely scattered references in the literature. Rajat Kathuria, Global Business Review The modern academic study of the multinational enterprise started with John Dunning s pioneering study of American Investment in British Manufacturing Industry in 1958. In the early 1970s he began to publish an influential and authoritative stream of papers integrating theoretical and empirical analysis of the multinational enterprise. This fascinating volume charts the evolution of John Dunning s thinking, highlighting his attempts to develop a richer, more dynamic and historical framework for the analysis of the multinational enterprise. It makes compelling reading, and offers unique insights into the intellectual development of his well-known eclectic paradigm of international production. Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK This volume contains a selection of John Dunning s best known and highly acclaimed writings on the theory of international business activity. Spanning more than three decades, the 16 contributions trace the evolution of his thoughts and ideas as an economist, from his first article on the determinants of international production, published in 1973, to his most recent essay on relational assets, networks and global business activity, completed in 2002. Theories and Paradigms of International Business Activity gives particular prominence to the author s much renowned eclectic paradigm, which he first promulgated at a Nobel Symposium on the international allocation of economic activity in 1976. Since then, the author has written over 60 articles, pamphlets and chapters in books which have extended, refined and updated his theorizing on the interface between trade, FDI and MNE activity, in the light of the changing characteristics of the world economy and advances in international business scholarship. This, the first of two volumes of John Dunning s work, is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers with a special interest in the reasons behind the explosive growth in post-war FDI and the globalization of business activity.

Book excerpt: Family firms account for a large proportion of firms in most countries. In industrialised countries of North America and Western Europe, they generally account for a large share of small and medium sized enterprises. In emerging market economies such as India, they also account for the majority of the large firms. Their importance for factors such as employment creation notwithstanding, relative to the widely held Anglo-Saxon firms, which are ubiquitous in the economics, finance and management literatures, family firms have historically received much less attention from scholars of these disciplines. However, in part owing to increased focus on emerging markets, there is a growing literature on family firms. In How Family Firms Differ, the authors explore important aspects of family firms, drawing on the existing literature and their own research on these firms.

Book excerpt: Family firms play a significant role in the U.S. economy, making up about 35 percent of S & P 500 or Fortune 500 companies and contributing about 65 percent to the U.S. GDP. This research explores differences in strategic behavior and firm performance between family firms and non-family firms, and further explores whether family firms such as Dell Inc. that use their founding family's name as part of their firm name (termed family-named firms, or FN firms) behave and perform any differently versus family firms such as Gap Inc. whose firm name does not include their family's name (termed non-family-named firms, or NFN firms). The first study which is based on a multi-industry sample of 130 publicly listed U.S. family firms over a five-year period (2002-2006), reveals that compared to NFN firms, FN firms have significantly higher levels of corporate citizenship and representation of their customers' voice (i.e., presence of a chief marketing officer) in the top management team. FN firms also have a higher strategic emphasis (i.e., a greater emphasis on value appropriation relative to value creation) compared to NFN firms. Furthermore, FN firms perform better (i.e., have a higher ROA) than NFN firms, and their superior performance is partially mediated by their higher corporate citizenship levels and strategic emphasis. In the second study -- an event study of 1294 product introduction announcements of 107 publicly listed U.S. family firms from 2005-2007 -- I find that relative to NFN firms, FN firms are rewarded more by the stock market for introducing new products. Superior returns to FN firms' new product introductions are partially mediated by these firms' history of trustworthy product-related behavior: FN firms, particularly those with corporate branding, and those wherein a founding family member holds the CEO or Chairman position, are more likely to exhibit a history of avoiding such product-related controversies as product safety issues, and deceptive advertising. The third study explores differences in strategic behavior and firm performance between family firms and non-family firms in the context of 7 U.S. economic recessions between the years 1970 and 2008. Findings based on a sample of 428 U.S. publicly listed firms reveal that family firms consistently outperform non-family firms during economic recessions. This superior performance is partially driven by family firms' unique strategic behavior: during recessions, family firms maintain higher levels of advertising intensity, exhibit lower financial leverage, and get involved in fewer social and employee-related unethical actions than non-family firms. The three studies taken together have important implications for family firm, branding, CSR, firm valuation, and innovation-related theory and practice. I highlight these implications in my dissertation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter, I show that mature patent-practicing firms respond to windfall profits derived from exogenously extended patent protection time by engaging in external patent acquisitions that diversify their patent portfolios into new technologies. By exploiting the random timing of patent term expiry dates and their unexpected extensions due to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, I find that a one standard deviation increase in the citation-weighted patent portfolio share of term-extended patents leads to an increase in cash flow by 1.5 percent of book assets. Given these windfall profits, I find evidence of physical capital investment, debt issuance reduction, and acquisitions of new external technologies. Internal investments in R&D, on the other hand, show no response, suggesting high R&D adjustment costs for large, mature firms. In the second chapter, I find that being connected to directors who are or had been board members at bankrupt firms at the time of bankruptcy filing limits the efficacy of business networks in searching for directorships. Assuming that corporate bankruptcies can weaken interpersonal ties among directors, I exploit a quasi-natural experiment to investigate the degree to which director turnover is dependent on professional connections forged from current and past board memberships. By comparing directors who are indirectly linked to bankruptcy-filing firms through their professional networks to those without this indirect link, I find that a director's chances of finding additional directorships within a 1-year period are lowered by over 10 percent on average after losing a set of connections due to corporate bankruptcies. This decline in director mobility is concentrated mostly among highly central directors and directors with board positions at firms with high G-Index measures, suggesting that the dependency on personal ties is stronger among firms with weak shareholder rights. In the third chapter, we explore the proxy voting patterns of passive mutual funds. We find that passive funds disagree with management more frequently than active funds within fund family. Additionally, voter efficacy between passive and active funds are not equal across agenda item categories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AB InBev is today's uncontested world leader of the beer market. It represents over 20% of global beer sales, with more than 450 million hectolitre a year flowing all around the world. Its Belgian predecessor, Interbrew, was a success story stemming from the 1971 secret merger of the country'stwo leading brewers: Artois and Piedboeuf. Based on material originating from company and private archives as well as interviews with managers and key family actors, this is the first study to explore the history of the company through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The story starts in the mid-nineteenth century with the scientific breakthroughs that revolutionised the beer industry and allowed both Artois and Piedboeuf to prosper in a local environment. Instrumental in this respect were the respective families and their successive heirs in stabilizing anddeveloping their firms. Despite the intense difficulties of two world wars in the decades to follow, they emerged stronger than ever and through the 1960s became undisputed leaders in the national market. Then, in an unprecedented move, Artois and Piedboeuf secretly merged their shareholding in1971, though keeping their operations separate until 1987 when they openly and operationally merged to become Interbrew.Throughout their histories Artois, Piedboeuf, and their successor companies have kept a controlling family ownership. This book provides a unique insight into the complex history of these three family breweries and their path to becoming a prominent global company, and the growth and consolidationof the beer market through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
