We address a key theoretical issue in the literature of dominant coalitions by explaining why, contrary to conventional wisdom, we observe the emergence of different coalitions under identical equity holdings of shareholders. Shifting the focus from exploring drivers of dominant coalition configurations in isolation (e.g., equity holdings), we expand on a relational perspective to explore how relational ties (soft power) among family shareholders interplay with equity holdings (hard power) in generating individual effective power to influence decision-making in the family firm. Drawing from and expanding on a cooperative game theory approach, this paper breaks new theoretical ground by providing insights into why and how the formation of relational ties (and lack thereof) among family shareholders affects the distribution of effective power in decision-making processes, over and beyond the share in equity holdings. Our work trains a micro-foundation lens on the study of dominant coalitions by disentangling and assessing individual effective power in coalitions of shareholders in family firms. We further propose a new perspective and a formal modeling to explain and measure why and how relational ties among members shape their effective power to influence decision-making, thereby shedding light on why and how members participate in different coalitional configurations.

软硬实力在家族企业股东间形成优势联盟中的交汇

我们通过解释为什么与传统观点相反,我们观察到在股东持有相同股权的情况下会出现不同的联盟,从而解决了主导联盟文献中的一个关键理论问题。将焦点从单独探索主导联盟配置的驱动因素(例如,股权持有)转移,我们扩展了关系视角,探讨家族股东之间的关系纽带(软实力)如何与股权持有(硬实力)相互作用以产生个人有效权力影响家族企业的决策。借鉴和扩展合作博弈论方法,本文打破了新的理论基础,深入探讨了家族股东之间关系关系的形成(以及缺乏关系关系)为何以及如何影响决策过程中有效权力的分配,而不仅仅是股权。我们的工作通过解开和评估家族企业股东联盟中的个人有效权力,培养了研究主导联盟的微观基础视角。我们进一步提出了一个新的视角和一个正式的模型来解释和衡量成员之间的关系为什么以及如何塑造他们影响决策的有效权力,从而阐明成员为什么以及如何参与不同的联盟配置。我们的工作通过解开和评估家族企业股东联盟中的个人有效权力,培养了研究主导联盟的微观基础视角。我们进一步提出了一个新的视角和一个正式的模型来解释和衡量成员之间的关系为什么以及如何塑造他们影响决策的有效权力,从而阐明成员为什么以及如何参与不同的联盟配置。我们的工作通过解开和评估家族企业股东联盟中的个人有效权力,培养了研究主导联盟的微观基础视角。我们进一步提出了一个新的视角和一个正式的模型来解释和衡量成员之间的关系为什么以及如何塑造他们影响决策的有效权力,从而阐明成员为什么以及如何参与不同的联盟配置。
