Current literature suggests that family involvement has an impact on firm innovativeness, but it is not able to explain in which conditions. Adopting a curvilinear model, (Olson’s circumplex model of family) this research demonstrates that the family's cohesion and flexibility levels play a significant role in the relationship between family involvement and firm innovation propensity.This paper also provides evidence for the theory that previous research limitations are due to the fact that they posit a linear relationship between family involvement and innovativeness. Instead, the Circumplex curvilinear model shows a better fit for explaining the family involvement impact on innovation propensity.
目前的文献表明，家族参与对企业创新有影响，但它不能解释在哪些条件下。本研究采用曲线模型(Olson’s circumplex family model)表明，家庭的凝聚力和灵活性水平在家族卷入与企业创新倾向的关系中起着显著的作用。本文还为以往研究的局限性在于其假设家庭参与与创新之间存在线性关系的理论提供了证据。相反，Circumplex曲线模型更适合于解释家族卷入对创新倾向的影响。

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of innovation in family firms, focusing on aspects that prior literature review studies did not fully understand or evaluate. It is based on the bibliometric evaluation of 207 scientific articles published from 1994 to 2017 with innovation in family firms (IFF) as the title of the subject, keywords, and abstract. The authors discuss the results from the perspective of performance indicators and co-authorship visualization, giving a holistic bibliometric overview of the research topic. Research on IFF has emerged as an important study area, with an increasingly established position. The field has attracted researchers and has led to the development of a wide body of literature. This study provides a synthesis and organization of existing knowledge on IFF research.

The present conceptual paper depicts Internal Market Orientation (IMO) theory development conceptualization with a contemplation of new conditions, realities and technologies available to modern businesses in service industries. Based on the results of a conceptual study, this study proposes a novel IMO framework which reflects the noted global changes that affects family businesses. The denoted model introduces novelty variables including Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Outsourced Personnel structural constructs. They avail to measure the effect of IMO implementation on job satisfaction and employee commitment that, in their turn, exhibit a positive impact on business performance in service industries.

In this paper, after some clarifications about the definition and characteristics of Family Business (FB), a literature review on innovation and cooperation in FB has been conducted. As a consequence, a research gap regarding how FB develops innovation when cooperating with external factors has been identified. In particular, specific characteristics of FB have been analysed regarding innovation and cooperation, such as longer-term vision, risk aversion, and relatively lack of professionalism of FB workers.

This article describes the design of a single-family aquaponic system powered by solar energy. This technique called “aquaponics” is an activity that blends aquaculture (farming aquatic species) and hydroponics (growing plants in a water-based environment) into one integrated system. A description is given of the elements in the aquaponic circuit, which is sized to scale for a family business, in addition to the budget required for its implementation in Chad. The use of renewable energy offers the possibility of implementing sustainable farming in underdeveloped countries. The objective of this system is to maximize the production of fish and vegetables, taking into account their limitations (20 kg of fish can be produced for every 1,000 liters of water while 8 liters of water are necessary to grow each plant). The fish farmed in this case will be tilapia, as it is technically feasible and has a flavor that is acceptable to the inhabitants of Chad. The cultivated plants include all types of fruits and vegetables, as well as aromatic plants.

This study focuses on the factors that lead family business to address a family protocol. This paper applies the theory of planned behavior. To test the validity of this theory in predicting family business behavior, this research uses data collected from a questionnaire distributed to business family members (n = 98) from Córdoba, Spain. Firstly, this research aims to explain the paradigm in which the intentionality to start the process towards the protocol on generational replacement and future distribution of the ownership is conducted by its feasibility – and this is partially marked by the willingness to reach the agreement and its utility. Secondly, the hypotheses are confirmed by means of the analysis of the data gathered from a sample of business families. Thirdly, the results of the model applied in the study are discussed, as well as its consistency and the nature of the information used by means of PLS-SEM.

The purpose of this paper is to explore differences between non-family employees of family firms and employees of non-family firms regarding their levels of job satisfaction. Moreover, focusing on family firms, we assess the impact of non-family employees’ perceptions of organizational justice on their levels of job satisfaction; we also seek to understand which dimensions of job satisfaction are most affected by the employees’ perceptions of organizational justice. The empirical evidence is provided by a sample of 205 Portuguese employees (98 non-family employees of family firms and 107 employees of non-family firms), working in small and medium-sized privately-owned enterprises. The findings reveal that non-family employees of family firms do not differ from employees of non-family firms regarding their levels of job satisfaction. Furthermore, it was found that, in family firms, there is a positive influence of the perceptions of organizational justice on the job satisfaction levels, in particular regarding to the satisfaction with the benefits and with the supervision.
