Fostering business environment with learning & Family
Kole Intellectual Forum is enduring to face critical changes in the business environment and resist disruptions and catastrophic events as a key factor explaining how to be able to manage organizational goal. The organization is looking at resilience of family firms and they have considered it to be a major capacity that allows them to pass through difficult times and to be sustainable that had been the case of Miller and Le Breton-Miller, (2005).
To them, they put it that: Although the academic literature argues that family firms are more resilient than non-family firms, the reasons for this presumed superiority are still not clearly identified. In addition, while family firms are a significant component of the economic landscape, research has evidenced variations in this organizational form such that some family firms seem to be more resilient than others.
In this research, we highlight two entrepreneurial features that may explain why family firms are resilient in times of crises (and why family firms are heterogeneous in terms of their resilience capacity). We propose a model that aims to test the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and commitment to learning on a family firm’s resilience while considering the moderating effect of a family-to-firm identity fit.
