Chirico, Francesco Sirmon, David G. Sciascia, Salvatore Mazzola, Pietro 2011 Drawing on the process of resource orchestration, we argue a co- alignment of multiple factors is needed for family firms to increase performance through entrepreneurship. Specifically, we posit that entrepreneurial orientation provides the mobilizing vision to use the heterogeneous yet complementary knowledge and experiences offered by increased generational involvement toward entrepreneurship. However, without a coordinating mechanism, generational involvement leads to conflict and negative outcomes. When, instead, it is also coordinated via a participative strategy, performance gains are achieved. In sum, results suggest that realizing the benefits from entrepreneurship in family firms is a complicated matter affected by the synchronization of entrepreneurial orientation, generational involvement, and participative strategy application/pdf https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/318543 https://localhost:5000/ark:/12658/srd1318543 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/318543/files/chirico_SEJ_2011.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1002/sej.121 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1318543 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Strategic entrepreneurship journal. - Wiley. - 2011, vol. 5, no. 4, p. 307-326 Family firm entrepreneurial orientation generational involvement participative strategy resource orchestration performance info:eu-repo/classification/udc/33 Resource orchestration in family firms : investigating how entrepreneurial orientation, generational involvement, and participative strategy affect performance http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
