A Neglected Factor Explaining Family Business Success: Human Resource Practices, Joseph H. Astrachan, Thomas A. Kolenko

Over 600 family firms were involved in this examination of the impact of human resource management (HRM) and professional governance practices on family business success and survival. Our findings identified some of the most prevalent family firm HRM practices and found significant positive correlations among HRM practices, gross firm revenues, and CEO personal income levels. The results support prior arguments for competitive advantage in the marketplace gained through effective use of HRM practices. An interesting additional finding was that while boards of directors, strategic planning, and frequent family meetings were correlated with business longevity over multiple generations, succession planning was …

Management accounting offers rewarding research opportunities. If researchers are able to identify more efficient ways to analyze internal accounting data, these new methods can be adopted immediately by interested companies. Breakthroughs in management accounting research do not have to filter through a standard-setting body before they can have an impact on practice. Due to the absence of management accounting rules, the great demand for management accounting research, and the availability of management accounting data, it is not surprising that academic research is beginning to drive the field of management accounting.

Influence Of Family Relationships On Succession Planning And Training: The Importance Of Mediating Factors, Ivan Lansberg, Joseph H. Astrachan
Faculty and Research Publications
This study models the influence of family relationships on succession variables, using a sample of 130 participants from 109 family businesses. Results suggest that the effects of family adaptability and family cohesion on succession planning and successor training are determined by the family'S commitment to the business and the quality of the owner-manager and successor relationship. The study finds that the influence of family relationships on administrative behavior in family businesses is not always direct, as was previously assumed, but is mediated by various factors.

Signal Detection Theory And Single Observation Designs: Methods And Indices For Advertising Recognition Testing, Dennis J. Cradit, Armen Tashchian, Charles F. Hofacker

Two simulations assessed the statistical bias, consistency, and efficiency of 4 different signal detection theory (SDT) sensitivity measures; a corrected-hit probability, the traditional d′ statistic, and 2 nonparametric measures collected from a collapsed-data procedure. Overall, results reinforce evidence that collapsed procedures produce relatively unbiased and efficient estimators. Recommendations for the best approach to using SDT for advertisement recognition testing are offered.
