Abstract

PurposeThis article aims to explore how cluster affiliation moderates the relationship between family involvement and speed of internationalization in family firms. The speed of internationalization is examined in terms of earliness and post-internationalization speed.Design/methodology/approachThe research is based on a sample of 639 Portuguese family businesses (FBs) created and internationalized between 2010 and 2018 that was retrieved from the Iberian Balance Analysis System – SABI database. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the measurement and construct the model.FindingsThe results suggest that higher levels of family involvement in ownership and management make family firms enter on international markets in later stages of their development but, after the first international market entry, the firms are able to exhibit a higher post-internationalization speed. When considering the effect of cluster affiliation, the authors found that clustered FBs are more likely to engage in early internationalization and to accelerate the post-internationalization process than non-clustered FBs.Originality/valueThe study's findings are explained by the existence of socially proximate relationships with other cluster members, based on similarity, trust, knowledge exchange and sense of belonging, which push family firms to internationalize and increase their level of international commitment over time. The empirical evidence, therefore, highlights the primary role of industrial clusters in moderating the relationship between family involvement, earliness of internationalization and post-internationalization speed.

一对一,一对一:集群型和非集群型家族企业国际化速度分析
目的探讨集群隶属关系如何调节家族企业家族涉入与国际化速度之间的关系。从国际化初期和国际化后的速度来考察国际化的速度。该研究基于2010年至2018年间创建和国际化的639家葡萄牙家族企业(FBs)的样本,这些样本来自伊比利亚平衡分析系统(SABI)数据库。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对测量结果进行评估并构建模型。研究结果表明,家族企业越参与所有权和管理,越有利于家族企业在发展后期进入国际市场,但在首次进入国际市场后,家族企业能够表现出更高的后国际化速度。当考虑集群隶属关系的影响时,作者发现集群型企业比非集群型企业更有可能参与早期国际化,并加速后国际化进程。原创性/价值本研究的发现可以通过与其他集群成员之间基于相似性、信任、知识交换和归属感的社会近因关系的存在来解释,这种近因关系推动家族企业国际化,并随着时间的推移提高其国际承诺水平。因此,实证证据表明,产业集群在调节家族参与、国际化早期和后国际化速度之间的关系中起主要作用。
