Abstract

Using qualitative interviews to understand the mindset of family business leaders in succession, this Supply Chain Management is important in industry. Vendor is the key component in the supply chain flow. A company abbreviated as UTPE is one of the biggest manufacturing companies in Indonesia that produces heavy equipment. The main materials are plates and spare parts that have been supplied by eight vendors. The current system of vendor selection is based on tardiness of delivery time, but every vendor has different frequency of delivery so that it cannot be compared. Therefore, the appropriate criteria and sub criteria are required to create a new system of vendor selection. The criteria and sub criteria are determined based on the previous research and interview with an expert in the company. There are 5 criteria and 17 sub criteria that are approriate for vendor selection. ANP is the development of Analytical Heuristic Process (AHP) by considering dependency between elements of hierarchy. By using ANP, the interdependency between criteria, sub criteria and their weight can be defined. Data collection is done by using observation, interview and questionnaire. Sub criteria long term relationship has the highest weight and vendor abbreviated as GH is the best vendor with score 3.057 of 5.

Abstract

Using qualitative interviews to understand the mindset of family business leaders in succession, this study proposes that attitude toward conflict is an important decision making element. A collective case studies uncover how attitude toward conflict predicts decision making during succession and influence optimism on the future of the firms. Findings of the study suggest that predecessors who welcome conflicts as a part of family firms take a more relaxed attitude toward succession, with a wider talent pool. This group are also more egalitarian in strategic decision making and optimistic toward the future of the firms. Predecessors who avoid conflict have smaller talent pool, making decisions to nominate few for the position. They is cautious, making decisions for the successors, and are pessimistic about the future of the firms. Contributions from this study are threefold. First, we introduce the use of attitude toward conflict to measure predecessors' behaviors during succession. Second, through identification of attitude toward conflict, we contribute to the literature by predicting predecessors' optimisms toward the future of the firms in the hands of the next generations. Third, this study contributes another dimension to reciprocal nepotism through discovery that family businesses upholding reciprocal nepotism behave differently.

Abstract

The present paper is based on a field research on the evolution of a saga of family entrepreneurs in Spain, with four generations involved. From the modest beginnings of a canned tomato factory, longer than a century ago, the case explains its transformation up to the current reality of being recognized as the largest blackberry European producer, named ‘Agrícola El Bosque’. Through the personal experience of its main characters, the case displays the very different stages through which this entrepreneurial family has traveled, especially the keys to the successful development of ‘Agrícola El Bosque’, including the last major project that has promoted, based on a process of cooperation with other berries producers in the area. This commercial alliance, branded as 'Plus Berries', leads us to reflect on the future of the growth model followed until now by this family business. On the foundations of this case, some lessons can be extracted and shed light on particular aspects of the scientific literature on family business management, as well as on how entrepreneurial spirit can be fed and flourish at the heat of the development and consolidation of a cluster of companies in an industry.

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to explore in detail the tacit business knowledge transfer process and the effective transfer method from founder to successor in Vietnamese family businesses. This study, using separate interviews of paired founders and successors in five Vietnamese family businesses, aims to contribute to the general understanding of such processes in South East Asian family businesses. This study confirms that the tacit business knowledge transfer process is an on-going process until the founder is unable to continue due to physical or mental health preventing further communication. In addition, it indicates that the mentor-mentee method is the most common method for tacit knowledge transfer process. Storytelling is also a common process; unlike traditional Western SMEs, use of formal documentation tends to be far less prevalent as a way of transferring knowledge. The findings of this study show that not all of tacit business knowledge from the founder is important to the successor. Therefore, a successor needs time spent alone to contemplate each tacit business lesson, before determining whether to absorb it.

Abstract

The main purpose of this case study is to examine the implementation and commercialization process of Simplified Financial and Recordkeeping (SiFAR) solution, a cloud-based cash flow management solution for micro and small businesses. Background of the company and entrepreneurial academics who initiated the idea and business, and the starting up process is described. The technology adoption life cycle model and the concept of crossing the chasms are used to describe the adoption rate of the solution. A pilot project was used to test the prototype and validate several features of the solution. The social scientists and entrepreneurs found a critical success factor for technology commercialization, which is managing risk. The most important factor in managing risk is to confirm demand for the solution and the willingness to pay. Hence, funds and capital need to be focused on managing risks in order for the entrepreneurial endeavor to be successful.

Abstract

The information technology has reduced the cost of business transactions large managerial corporations are giving way to small family business firms. It is good change because family businesses could not only aim to sustain the family economically but also could aim nurturing children. The role of ethics in family business is has not been studied systematically. This paper has argued that family firms are more socially responsible that non-family firms because family firms are breeding ground for core family values. This paper also argues that business literature should lay emphasis on virtues and character based business in place of value and culture based business. To manage for organizational virtue and character is to treat ethics as an end in itself. To manage by values and characters is to treat ethics as means for some ulterior motive. If employees are told that they should be honest because it pays then profit may trump in case of a conflict. The combination of family virtues and business can make the family busines as moral model  or moral leadership for all types of business in this era of high demands for accountability.

Abstract

Family businesses play an important role in both developed and developing countries. They employ a majority of workforce establishing the newest jobs and generating a significant proportion of the gross domestic product. About 96% of the 165,000 companies established in Indonesia are family businesses. However, the survival rate of passing through the stage of second generations in family business is very low. This research has been conducted to analyse the determinants of successful family business successions. Qualitative research method was used to study four families. The conclusion from the study was that the determinants of successful family business succession are managing a complex relationship of successors and incumbent related factors, family context, business context, and having a structured agreement system.
