Empresas familiares y no-familiares en Irán: acoplamiento entre innovación, internacionalización y expectativas de crecimiento
Gallo and Sveen, in 1991, specified problems of whether family businesses can take advantage of factors facilitating internationalization. We compare family and non-family businesses in innovation, export, and growth-expectation, and consider how outcomes are aligned, with a coupling that may be loose, with a synergy that benefits the business. This raises a further issue, is governance of a business affecting not only each of the outcomes but also their coupling. A representative sample of 530 Iranian businesses was surveyed in 2018 for Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Innovation, export, and growth-expectation are found to be lower in family businesses. Coupling between innovation and export, and also between export and growth-expectation, are found to be looser in family businesses. - Findings suggest that coupling among performance outcomes in family businesses can feasibly be tightened, thereby reinforcing performance. The findings contribute to understanding the performance endeavors of family businesses as problematized by Gallo and Sveen.Gallo y Sveen, en 1991, se plantearon si las empresas familiares podĂan implementar factores que facilitasen la internacionalizaciĂłn. Centrándonos en la innovaciĂłn, las exportaciones y las expectativas de crecimiento en la empresa familiar, consideramos cĂłmo estos tres factores se alinean, con un acoplamiento que puede ser dĂ©bil o fuerte, una sinergia que beneficia al negocio. Esto plantea una cuestiĂłn adicional: Âżla gobernanza de una empresa puede no solo afectar a cada uno de los factores, sino tambiĂ©n a su acoplamiento? Una muestra representativa de 530 empresas de Irán fue encuestada en 2018 para el Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Se demuestra que la innovaciĂłn, las exportaciones y las expectativas de crecimiento son menores en las empresas familiares. El acoplamiento entre innovaciĂłn y las exportaciones, y tambiĂ©n entre las exportaciones y las expectativas de crecimiento, son más suaves en las empresas familiares. Los hallazgos sugieren que el acoplamiento entre los resultados en las empresas familiares pueden ser fortalecidos, reforzando asĂ la rentabilidad. Los resultados contribuyen a mejorar la rentabilidad de las empresas familiares con implicaciones prácticas, como lo defienden Gallo y Sveen
Who will be an entrepreneur? How cultural mechanisms and social network structure together influence entrepreneurial participation
Using data collected from 35 countries over five years, this study provides an investigation of the combined influence of cultural factors and social network structure on whether or not an individual, anywhere in the world, becomes an entrepreneur. Results show that knowing someone who has started a business recently, across the world, has a significant impact on entrepreneurship participation. Regarding the potential cultural influences, it seems that importance attached to personally knowing entrepreneurs differs significantly between individuals operating in different cultures. In cultures with high power distance, personally knowing a person who recently started a business is relatively less important as a driver of entrepreneurship participation compared to cultures with low power distance. On the other hand, in cultures where the Hofstede’s ‘masculinity’construct predominates, it is more important than in cultures characterised by ‘femininity’.<br /
Writing and Parricide in Henry Roth’s “Final Dwarf”
D’inspiration autobiographique, la nouvelle « Final Dwarf » reflète les difficultés relationnelles d’Henry Roth avec son père, Herman. Le drame oedipien qui est au cœur de Call it Sleep, de Mercy of a Rude Stream et de l’inédit « Maine Sampler », se manifeste ici en tant que désir parricide pour constituer une représentation de l’acte d’écrire. La nouvelle se présente alors comme une allégorie de la création littéraire. Freudienne et intertextuelle, cette approche tente d’explorer le redoutable blocage de l’écrivain : si pour Roth l’écriture est synonyme de parricide, le blocage pourrait être perçu comme une peur de la castration
