Download or read book Family Business and Regional Development written by Rodrigo Basco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between families, firms, and regions and the extent to which these relationships contribute to regional economic and social development. Although family business participation in economic activities has been a common phenomenon since pre-industrial societies, and its importance has evolved throughout time and across spatial contexts, the book suggests that these factors have often been neglected in family business and regional studies. Taking this research gap into account, the book aims to deepen our understanding of the role family firms play in the regional economy. In particular, it explores two seldom studied questions. Firstly, what role do family firms play in regional development? Secondly, how do different spatial regional contexts shape family firm operations and performance? Family Business and Regional Development presents a model of "spatial familiness" and uses themes such as productivity, networks and competitiveness to shed new light on family businesses. Moreover, it approaches the juxtaposition between family business and regional studies to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, theories, and research methods between the two fields. Bringing together leading experts in entrepreneurship, regional economics, and economic geography, this book will be a valuable reading for advanced students, researchers and policymakers interested in family firms, regional studies and economic geography.

Download or read book Firm Performance as a Function of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Strategic Planning Practices written by James W. Kroeger and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New business creation is essential for our nation's economy and accounts for all net new job creation. However, 56% of small businesses fail within four years of startup. One way to address this issue is to employ an approach combining an entrepreneurial orientation (EO) with key strategic management planning practices for firms seeking to gain a competitive advantage and improve firm performance. Entrepreneurial orientation is the propensity of firms to be innovative, proactive, and be willing to take risks. This research project empirically investigated the relationship among a firm's scanning intensity, locus of planning, planning flexibility and entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. The sample for this research involved the owners and principal managers of Northeastern Ohio small businesses. Results indicate that a firm's entrepreneurial orientation is positively related to firm performance. However, the positive relationship between strategic planning processes and firm performance was not supported. Environmental uncertainty was shown to have an effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance.

Learning what type of entrepreneurial DNA you possess is critical to how you should structure and deploy your game plan in business. Whether you’re serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur or improving your existing business, start with Entrepreneurial DNA. You’ll discover your unique BOSI profi le and gain tremendous insight into how to engage the right people and develop plans and processes to match who you are.
