By conducting a case study on eight large family firms, the aim of this article is to identify push and pull factors motivating family firms to internationalize and how they relate to decision-makers’ risk taking. We identified different types of internationalizing family firms. While some are pushed towards international markets by competition and put at risk the stock of affect-related value that the family has invested in the firm (socioemotional wealth), others face a “mixed gamble” of push and pull factors especially when they are led by non-family managers.

从社会情感财富的角度解开家族企业国际化的驱动力

通过对八家大型家族企业进行案例研究，本文旨在确定推动家族企业国际化的推动因素和拉动因素，以及它们与决策者承担风险的关系。我们确定了国际化家族企业的不同类型。虽然有些竞争被竞争推向国际市场，并使家族投资于公司的与情感相关的价值存量（社会情感财富）处于危险之中，但另一些则面临推拉因素的“混合赌注”，尤其是当他们受到领导时由非家族管理者。
