The Ties That Blend: Social Capital And Family Firm Innovation, Dustin L. Odom
Theses and Dissertations
The research project empirically assesses the influence of an under-researched aspect of social capital on the family firm’s entrepreneurial behaviors. Specifically, blending social capital, which consists of bonding social capital and bridging social capital that develops between family firms and external family stakeholders, is considered in examining the family firm’s engagement in innovation efforts.
