Abstract

Prepared by Sanjay Pal, Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad. We publish, in this section, brief abstracts of significant papers appearing in other journals. Authors are requested to send copies of their papers, published elsewhere, for this purpose. Bengt, Johannisson and Morten, Huse, ’Recruiting Outside Board Members in the Small Family Business: An Ideological Challenge’, Entrepreneurship & Regional Development: An International Journal, vol. 12, no. 4 (October-December 2000), pp. 353-78. The focus of this paper is to explore how contrasting ideologies influence the selection process of outside directors in the small family business. Small family businesses do not just represent small-scale economic activity but they are the outcome of entrepreneurial ambition and family involvement. This means that willpower and emotional commitment blend with calculative considerations. As emotional as well as cognitive constructs, the family, management and entrepreneurship each represent an ideology: paternalism, managerialism and entrepreneurialism. The proposed ideological framework is positioned against alternative approaches to the study of board selection processes. Two sets of data are presented. A piloting survey of twelve family businesses in Sweden is used to substantiate the theoretical assumption that entrepreneurial firms avoid having outside directors and managerial firms welcome outside directors, leaving paternalistically run family business ambivalent. Repeated in-depth interviews in two family businesses, one founder-managed and entrepreneurial, the other established and traditional, reveal how the professionalisation of the board enforces managerialism, challenging thus far dominating ideologies, entrepreneurialism and paternalism. The outcome of this ideological context, if properly orchestrated, is an energised and more competitive family business. The study has implications for practice and research in several ways. First, while most studies of the board of directors are input-output analyses not exploring what matters most-actual board behaviour that
