Abstract

With her foreign colleagues Tanja Leppaaho (Finland) and Spiros Batas (UK), Karine Guiderdoni-Jourdain is co-author of the chapter entitled : Social capital and values in the internationalization of family firms: a multi-country study. The study concerned social capital (SC) within the internationalization of family firms (FFs). The authors studied FFs from three countries of origin, with differing family structures, each operating in three foreign markets. They also had a recent study on the role of family structures on FF internationalization (Arregle et al., 2019) as a starting point and applied literature on bifurcation bias (BB), specifically family values (Verbeke et al., 2019). Their interview data highlighted that different family structures were linked to inherited Social Capital and that the value of conservation played an important role in FF international networking behavior. The Taiwanese FF based its decisions more strongly on tradition (related to religion and culture) and security than the Finnish and French FFs, in which conformity related to the protection of family members was the strongest family value influencing international networking
