Industrial Center

As youths who came into business family inheritance, living in an industrial center, naturally, they are indispensable to continue the family business. In conjunction with that, the sustainability of the industrial center also depends on their willingness to be an entrepreneur or not. The methodological approach taken in this study is a qualitative method. The data for this study was collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews. To begin the process, data is collected through editing and classification, then analyzed and interpreted. The research subject in this study is youth whose own family business at the Sanan Tempe industrial center. The data analysis in this study is using Phenomenological Analysis. The data analysis process is divided into 4 stages starting from data managing, reading, describing, presenting. This research found that the entrepreneurial spirit of the youth in the Sanan Tempe industrial center has been formed since an early age. It came naturally from the experience and opportunity to be part of the family business which shaped their psychology and behavior. Another finding on this research is that a high level of education does not necessarily become a barrier for them to run their family business, choosing a profession as entrepreneurs like what their parents did.r them to run their family business, choosing a profession as entrepreneurs like what their parents did.

Analysis Process

Visualization has become an important ingredient of data analysis, supporting users in exploring data and confirming hypotheses. At the beginning of a visual data analysis process, data characteristics are often assessed in an initial data profiling step. These include, for example, statistical properties of the data and information on the data’s well-formedness, which can be used during the subsequent analysis to adequately parametrize views and to highlight or exclude data items. We term this information data descriptors, which can span such diverse aspects as the data’s provenance, its storage schema, or its uncertainties. Gathered descriptors encapsulate basic knowledge about the data and can thus be used as objective starting points for the visual analysis process. In this article, we bring together these different aspects in a systematic form that describes the data itself (e.g. its content and context) and its relation to the larger data gathering and visual analysis process (e.g. its provenance and its utility). Once established in general, we further detail the concept of data descriptors specifically for tabular data as the most common form of structured data today. Finally, we utilize these data descriptors for tabular data to capture domain-specific data characteristics in the field of climate impact research. This procedure from the general concept via the concrete data type to the specific application domain effectively provides a blueprint for instantiating data descriptors for other data types and domains in the future.

The Relationship

In enterprising families, the family, as a social institution, is the foundation of the family business. However, in enterprising families, intergenerational succession remains problematic. Using intergenerational solidarity theory, and data from the 2013 Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students Survey (GUESSS; N = 18,576), our findings indicate that affective commitment partially mediates the relationship between family business exposure and offspring’s succession intentions. We also find that this relationship is stronger for sons than for daughters, while birth order has no effect. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Family businesses are vital but understudied economic and social units. Previous family business research is limited relative to its definitions, sampling, and resulting empirical evidence. This paper presents an alternative methodological approach to the study of family businesses with the potential for allowing multiperspective and detailed analyses of the nature and internal dynamics of both the family and the business and the interaction between the two.

Se identificó el nivel de desempeño de las mujeres en las Unidades Productivas Familiares (UPF) y la relación existente entre las familias de la comunidad El Zopilote, municipio de Rosita, Región Autónoma Atlántico Norte. El estudio es cualitativo, se han descrito situaciones, personas, interacciones, actitudes y comportamientos observables. Los fundamentos teórico-metodológicos tienen como enfoque el interaccionismo simbólico porque se reflexiona sobre los significados sociales que las personas asignan al mundo que les rodea para valorar o visibilizar la participación de las mujeres en el trabajo y en la toma de decisiones en las UPF. Las técnicas fueron entrevistas, observación participante, grupos focales, mapeo de las unidades productivas seleccionadas y revisión documental. Se encontró que las mujeres de la comunidad El Zopilote están involucradas en diferentes actividades dentro de las Unidades Productivas Familiares. Tienen un alto nivel de participación en todo el ciclo productivo, evidenciándose así que tienen parte en algunas decisiones y que es menor sobre los rubros de mayor valor para la comercialización de los productos. El estudio aporta la facilitación de nuevas estrategias a todas las ONG e instituciones del Estado que desean trabajar en la comunidad con temas relacionados al estudiado. SUMMARY We identified the level of performance of women in the Family Production Units (FPU) and the relationship between the families of the community El Zopilote, municipality of Rosita, North Atlantic Autonomous Region. The study is qualitative and it describes situations, people, interactions, attitudes and observable behaviors. The theoretical and methodological approach are focus on a symbolic interactionism because it examines the social meanings that people put on the world that surrounds them to assess and highlight women participation in the work and decision-making in the FPU. The techniques that were applied are: interviews, participant observation, focus groups, mapping of the selected production units and document review. Among the results we found that the women of the community El Zopilote are involved in different activities within the family production units. They have a high level of participation in the entire production cycle, and this is evident that they are taken into consideration in some decisions which are less on the items of greater value for the marketing of products. The study provides new strategies to the NGO’s and state institutions who are interested to work in the community on issues related to this study.

This chapter explains how Japanese family businesses in general, and family-run universities in particular, operate in practice and some of the negative and positive tropes with which they are frequently associated. These features include a high level of centralization, little voice for employees, top-down decision-making, and a particular concern over succession. The chapter develops the argument that family-run universities benefit from an ‘inbuilt resilience’, deriving from a preference for dealing with problems in-house and with the absolute minimum of disruption to the existing modus operandi; resilience built on a network of educational operations extending beyond a single university and allowing for significant cross-subsidies; robust connections with local business interests; and above all, an overriding concern with maintaining the integrity of the family business. This inbuilt resilience is a key to understanding the unexpected ability of Japan’s private universities to adapt to the dramatic demographic changes of the 1990s and 2000s. The chapter ends with a short discussion of possible outcomes of the next period of demographic decline from 2018 to 2030, suggesting that it may well be that the private university sector in Japan, with its inbuilt resilience and long experience of reacting to crises, will survive not only better than the current gloomy predictions but indeed than the public sector overall.

Purpose This paper highlights the importance of understanding family firms in different contexts. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the characteristics and behavior of family firms in Ibero-America, and their contribution and fit to the broader field of research. Based on the five articles in this special issue, this paper attempts to give an overview of their main contributions. Design/methodology/approach This paper explains in a contextual and analytical way the contributions of five papers that focus their attention on Ibero-American family firms, by linking them to the current research in the field and finding their fit within the broader field of family business. Tackling different topics, these five papers discuss about the comparison between family vs non-family businesses, innovation in family firms, and governance in family firms Findings Findings suggest that there is a need to stimulate research in family business in Ibero-America, especially Latin America, regarding family business dynamics, the different roles of the family within the enterprise, family governance, and the role of women. With regards to innovation the cultural and economic context play an important role in how they perform innovative activities. Originality/value This paper contributes to further understanding family firms by discussing the importance of the context and by linking all five papers with the broader literature in family business. The introduction also discusses topics worth to be further researched in Ibero-America.

Institutional Forces

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze entrepreneurship in the context of the second, third and fourth generations of family businesses, considering the family as an institution and mapping the reasons and influences to institutional forces across generations. Design/methodology/approach Three focus groups conducted for the study revealed that each generation has dealt differently with issues related to institutional forces, such as legitimacy, business professionalization and succession. Findings The perpetuation and transmission of entrepreneurial behavior has been greatly influenced by the family and this is especially clear when it is seen as an institution that unites and binds its members, while guiding or restricting the choices available to these agents through limits imposed on them. The family exerts a strong institutional influence across generations, both defining boundaries and creating opportunities for its members. Regardless of the generation of family business, the family founders and their successors’ responses are modeled by institutional forces. Research limitations/implications The main limitation is concentration of focus on a specific context, Brazilian family businesses. Therefore, the results are limited to this case. With regard to the methodological approach, the authors employed cross-sectional data collection, making it difficult or even impossible to make a historical analysis of the facts that are limited to the present perceptions of the interviewees. It should also be considered, from the institutional perspective, that the authors only analyze the family as an institution, leaving out of the context other institutions and institutional dimensions such as the political and industrial, for example. Practical implications This study helps to explain entrepreneurship in the context of the second, thirrd, and fourth generation of family businesses, considering family as an institution, mapping the motivations and influences of institutional forces across generations. The relevance of family as an institution as drivers of family businesses, as demonstrated in this study, can contribute to decision making and succession of family businesses. Equally, the results can contribute to avoidance of the possible pitfalls of transgenerational changes and facilitate better management of problems such as legitimacy caused by a lack of norms and procedures or transfer of tacit knowledge. Social implications There have been few attempts to understand the dynamics of the family business as an institution that also consider transgenerational changes. Rather, family business has been analyzed separately from institutions. Institutions are rarely taken into account in studies of family businesses. Consequently, a perspective that aims to understand the relationship between family businesses and institutions, taking account of transgenerational influences should further theory. Transgenerational family businesses are an appropriate object of study in this context, because of the institutional changes they undergo due to the influence of institutional forces over time. Originality/value This study shows the relevance of understanding how these issues are dealt with in different generations of a family institution. Aspects related to entrepreneurship in the context of family businesses have been attracting attention from researchers interested in family businesses and scholars of institutional entrepreneurship.

Background:The main objective of this study is to describe the perspective of human life cycle in childhood, considering the variables cognition, emotion and behavior in the city of Armenia-Quindío, Colombia. Objective:It was proposed from the psychological discipline and from the particular interest of characterizing different age groups in the Colombian context, specifically in the Quindío region. Methodology: A quantitative methodological approach is proposed, given that it corresponds with the descriptive, analytical logic and with the intention of generalize the results. With a descriptive-transversal design, the battery SENA (Sistema de Evaluación para Niños y Adolescentes) was applied, oriented to collect information from multiple sources, in this opportunity was possible to work with a n = 75. The results were discriminated by type of source that provided the information, considering that young children do not respond to the self-report questionnaire, because it requires literacy skills that due to biological and school development conditions haven’t been achieved. A total of 75 questionnaires were applied from the family perspective, 47 from the self-report perspective and 28 from the school. Results:The results show that according to the self-report presented by the participants, 4 out of 5 children are involved in a situation of contextual risk for ages between 7 to 11 years old; from the family perspective, is considered that 1 out of 2 participants present risks like possible school bullying, risk of self-harm and risk of aggression or harm to others. In addition, possible effects on the development of executive functions and the presence of behavioral and emotional problems, possibly related to imbalances and mismatching from the context. Conclusion: Finally, it is considered fundamental to adopt a new form of approaching to the study of development and life cycle, which includes conditions closer to the population group of interest, taking into account individualdi fferences, the continuous and discontinuous form of development and conditions of the region where they belong.

PurposeThis study explores the family governance structures that family firms employ to manage family business tensions.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on socioemotional wealth perspective and adopting a narrative methodological approach, the study analyses nine unique narratives of representatives of three Swedish family firms.FindingsThe study illustrates how the hybrid arena created between formal and informal family meetings is used as a governance structure for mitigating tensions by reinforcing family relational ties.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the findings, this study suggests how reliance on hybrid arena informs the field of family business management and governance and suggests future research directions.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study provide opportunities for family business practitioners, including owners, family members, family firm advisers and other stakeholders, to effectively manage family business tensions and foster socioemotional wealth.Originality/valueIn family firms, tensions can arise due to a desire for the preservation of socioemotional wealth. The authors show that these tensions may be managed by using informal and formal family meetings that create a hybrid arena where family members separate family and business issues and emotional and rational reactions, thereby avoiding negative emotions and creating a culture of harmony within the family.
