European J. of International Management (EJIM), Vol. 9, No. 2, 2015

Abstract: Using a sample of 172 Spanish family firms this study explores whether the effect of family and non-family social capital on family firm innovation is contingent on family ownership. We test a structural model that explores whether the relationship between family and non-family social capital with family firm innovation is moderated by family ownership. We use partial least squares structural equation modelling to test our hypotheses. Our results extend the understanding of innovation within family firms, which are characterised by nuanced social and affective behaviours.
