Ítem Un análisis internacional de las primas de riesgo fijadas por los intermediarios financieros(Universidad de Deusto, 1999-01-01) Iturrioz Landart, Cristina; Fernandez Ana, Isabel; Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales; Economía y Dirección de Empresas (Gestión Financiera y Contabilidad)El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de las primas de riesgo fijadas por los intermediarios financieros en la financiación crediticia, con el propósito de verificar si las diferentes características de los sistemas financieros, el sector de actividad donde compite la empresa prestataria o el tamaño de ésta, afectan significativamente a los valores de estas primas de riesgo, e identificar los patrones de comportamiento que siguen las entidades crediticias de diferentes países para determinarlas. De acuerdo con los objetivos planteados, en primer lugar se analiza el papel de los intermediarios financieros como financiadores de la economía, poniendo de manifiesto la influencia de las características de los distintos modelos de sistema financiero en la labor de provisión de financiación crediticia intermediaria. En segundo lugar, se estudia el proceso de evaluación y de establecimiento de condiciones en la financiación crediticia. Y finalmente se realiza la contrastación empírica de las hipótesis fundamentales que cubren los objetivos de esta investigación, tratando datos de carácter económico-financiero de empresas agregados por sectores de actividad y estratos de tamaño, para los países Alemania, Francia, Italia, Reino Unido y España, suministrados por la base de datos B.A.C.H. de la Comisión Europea.Ítem Are family firms’ export relationships more persistent?(Elsevier Ltd, 2025-03) Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Iturrioz Landart, Cristina; Mínguez, Raúl; Minondo, Asier; Requena Silvente, FranciscoThis paper examines the persistence of family firms’ international relationships. We theoretically argue how socioemotional wealth's gains and losses balancing process supported by network closure allows family firms to develop more persistent relationships with their foreign partners than their non-family counterparts. Our study empirically tests this hypothesis and confirms that export relationship survival is higher in family firms than in their non-family counterparts. We further show that this difference is magnified during economic crises or when operating in culturally distant markets.Ítem Exploring the interplay between context and enterprise purpose in participative social entrepreneurship: the perceptions of worker cooperative entrepreneurs(Routledge, 2021-05-10) Stervinou, Sandrine; Bayle-Cordier, Julie; Narvaiza Cantín, Lorea; Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaEntrepreneurship research views context as central to understanding entrepreneurship as a fluid social construction. Our study answers recent call to focus on a diversity of organizational forms to deepen theorizing and to broaden the domain of what is considered entrepreneurship. Worker cooperatives are a type of social enterprise under exposed in the entrepreneurship literature. Thus, we investigate how context impacts collective social entrepreneurial processes over time by exploring how worker cooperative entrepreneurs view their contexts and their own entrepreneurial initiatives’ purposes. We introduce the term ‘participative social entrepreneurship’, which we define as ‘democratic and collaborative action, amongst both similar and diverse actors to foster positive societal change’. Findings based on a longitudinal study of worker cooperative entrepreneurs from two European territories over 2011-2020 highlight the relevance of context and purpose interplay in shaping worker cooperative entrepreneurs’ perceptions and so, the construction of participative social entrepreneurship. The study reveals that while, in theory, the worker cooperative form has a prosocial purpose naturally embedded in its democratic governance structure, social entrepreneurship in action does not always translate into voices that contest the status quo and highlights the necessity of paying attention to the factors that make participative social entrepreneurship dynamic and real.Ítem Family social capital as a driver to leverage challenged transgenerational entrepreneurship(Emerald Publishing, 2023-08-24) Iturrioz Landart, Cristina ; Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Cabrera Suárez, María KatiuskaPurpose: The purpose of the study is to unveil the key role of family social capital (FSC) as a driver for transgenerational entrepreneurship (TE) in the specific contexts of challenged successor-driven entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The paper adopts a multi-case study methodology. Guided by three theoretical propositions, three TE case studies are analyzed. Drawing on ten in-depth interviews with at least three different informants from each intra-family succession case study, evidence about this particularly complex phenomenon was obtained. Findings: The paper highlights the effect of FSC as the key familiness driver to leverage challenged successor-driven entrepreneurship. The paper underscores the systemic and dynamic network of multiple exchanges required to construct successor’s own pool of knowledge resources and to support familiness and thus the competitive advantage of the family firm (FF). Practical implications: Different scenarios are illustrated, and specific lessons are provided for successors and families that face TE opposition in intra-family succession, regarding the restoration of damaged FSC and involving non-family stakeholders in the successor-driven entrepreneurship. In these cases, opposition to successor-driven entrepreneurship may help to develop successor’s leadership abilities. Originality/value: Focusing on a specific intra-family succession context where successor-driven entrepreneurial initiatives face stakeholder opposition, the paper highlights the specific role played by FSC in the successor knowledge construction in specific contexts of challenged intra-family succession.Ítem How can responsible family ownership be sustained across generations?: a family social capital approach(Springer Netherlands, 2019-09) Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina ; Arredondo Corrales, Agustín Mateo ; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaResponsible family ownership (RFO) is a combination of the family’s commitment to the family-firm’s (FF’s) stakeholders in the long term and the explicit behaviour of the family members associated with the firm. However, families are not individuals but rather a system of relationships among family members. In such a context, misunderstandings in communication, anachronistic mentalities and different value systems can block the intergenerational transmission of RFO. Consequently, the responsibility of the family towards the FF’s stakeholders may be damaged and the firm’s socially responsible behaviour hindered. This paper aims to identify how RFO is transferred across generations and to ascertain the role that family social capital (FSC) plays in preserving the transmission of RFO from generation to generation. Our research is based on three in-depth case studies of Mexican family-owned small- and medium-sized enterprises. First, the paper identifies and contrasts a set of FSC-specific factors and problems which play a relevant role in the transmission of RFO while recognizing the influence of the mutually reinforcing dynamics of FSC dimensions. Secondly, the family’s honourableness (Aβländer in J Bus Ethics 116(4):751–767, 2013) is identified as a key driver for sustaining the transmission of RFO. Finally, the paper identifies RFO institutionalization required to face the intrinsic problems of transmitting RFO in growing families.Ítem How does the territory impact on entrepreneurial family embeddedness?(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2022-03-03) Martínez-Sanchis, Paula ; Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina ; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaPurpose: This paper aims to explore how territory impacts on entrepreneurial families’ (EFs) embeddedness to unveil the role that territories play on the continuity and development of EFs. Design/methodology/approach: To study complex contexts where subjective realities are analyzed, a constructivist qualitative approach is recommended. Given that, this paper develops a qualitative methodology in which 25 semi-structured interviews were carried out and analyzed based upon the use of ATLAS.ti, following an open-coding approach. Findings: This paper found out that the territory can condition EFs’ embeddedness in different ways. First, through the cultural embeddedness, the shared territorial understanding of values and norms inherited by the history of the territory. Second, by the political embeddedness, i.e. the power exercised by territorial economic actors and non-market institutions. Third, through the structural embeddedness generated by the territorial social networks and the generation of close relationships and finally, through the so-called cognitive embeddedness, the territorial actors’ representations, interpretations and meanings. These four modes of territorial embeddedness are unfolded in a set of 16 territorial factors that impact on EFs’ embeddedness. Most of the identified factors, 14 out of the 16, are acting mainly over one of the embeddedness modes studied (cultural, political, structural and cognitive), while two of them, because they are operating simultaneously on various modes of embeddedness, have been considered transversal factors. Originality/value: EFs have, to a great extent, been recognized as major generators of positive externalities in the territories in which they are located, and to date, the literature has focused on the impact that firms and family firms have on regional development. However, how the territory conditions the embeddedness of these families, especially how it impacts on the EFs’ territorial embeddedness, remains unexplored. This paper proposes a framework of 16 factors that help to understand the embeddedness dynamics between EFs and territories, serving as a starting point for future research avenues. Additionally, regional policy makers may use it as a guidance to build policy mix that considers these territorial factors to boost EFs’ embeddedness.Ítem How the Pygmalion Effect operates in intra-family succession: shared expectations in family SMEs(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-12) Martínez-Sanchis, Paula ; Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina ; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaThe Pygmalion Effect is a case of the self-fulfilling prophecy, whereby the expectations of leaders influence the performance of followers (Avolio, Walumbwa, & Weber, 2009; Rosenthal, 1993). Intra-family succession processes, which are hardly ever formalised in small- and medium-sized family enterprises, provide a natural context to explore the perceptions that predecessors have about their successors and where the Pygmalion Effect is expected to occur. However, little is known about how a predecessor's expectations can affect intra-family firm succession processes. Based on qualitative interviews with key family and non-family members, expectations were analysed in four in-depth case studies of intra-family SME succession processes. The findings show that the Pygmalion Effect operates over time and embraces incumbent, successor, and key stakeholders’ expectations, which support the new leader when facing succession-related challenges.Ítem How to evolve towards organizational ambidexterity: lessons from Basque small and medium enterprises in customer-based innovation contexts(Gobierno Vasco = Eusko Jaurlaritza, Departamento de Economía, Trabajo y Empleo = Ekonomia, Lan eta Enplegu Saila, 2024) Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Iturrioz Landart, Cristina; Alcalde Heras, HenarCustomer-based innovation (CBI) contexts can facilitate the journey from exploitation to exploration in SMEs in order to evolve towards organizational ambidexterity. However, the transition towards ambidexterity is not an easy journey and managers deal with different tensions regarding the balance between explorative and exploitative processes. The paper presents an inductive research, based on the in-depth analysis of four Basque innovative SMEs that have been able to develop an organizational ambidexterity strategy in CBI contexts. In this attempt, first, we contribute to the theory identifying the specific risks associated with the transition towards ambidexterity in SMEs. Second, we provide a qualitative study to understand how exploitation transit through ambidexterity can be done successfully and finally, we propose some lessons to help SMEs in this transition period.Ítem Identifying territory-linked family business groups: a methodological proposal(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2022-02-10) Garmendia-Lazcano, Aitor; Iturrioz Landart, Cristina; Aragón Amonarriz, CristinaPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to design a methodology to identify territory-linked family business groups (TLFBGs) in order to overcome the methodological challenges and ease studies about family business groups' (FBGs) impact on territories. Design/methodology/approach: The paper applied an algorithm to a data set of firms located in Gipuzkoa that were registered in the SABI database in 2018. Findings: The paper defined a new construct, TLFBGs, and proposed a methodology that automatized the identification of TLFBGs by a seven-stage algorithm that was intended to be applicable to any firm-level economic and financial data set, including all registered firms and not only listed firms. Practical implications: TLFBGs unveil the real relevance that family businesses have in the territorial development, encouraging the political support to family business. Additionally, the methodology provided allows understanding growth processes of family business. Originality/value: The paper defines a new construct, TLFBGs, that highlights both the underexplored links existing between family and territory and between family and business groups, providing the process and criteria to capture it. The paper opens up large-scale empirical research on the social (and economic) influence of TLFBGs in territorial development.Ítem Investigación transformadora y su papel crucial en la competitividad territorial(Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea, Asociación de Licenciados en Ciencias Económicas, 2024-12) Calvo Sotomayor, Iñigo; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaÍtem Leadership succession and transgenerational entrepreneurship in family firms: an evolutionary perspective of familiness(Universidad de Málaga (UMA), Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, 2024) Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Cabrera Suárez, María Katiuska; Iturrioz Landart, CristinaThis article analyses how familiness influences the evolution of entrepreneurial actions undertaken by new-generation family leaders. Despite the recognised importance of familiness in family firms’ entrepreneurship, the mechanism by which it influences transgenerational entrepreneurship during leadership succession remains largely unexplored. Through qualitative analysis of the entrepreneurial processes carried out by five multigenerational family firms, we identify how resources associated with familiness shape strategic renewal and their evolution across the transgenerational entrepreneurship process. Our results shed light on the critical role of leaders’ managerial capabilities in orchestrating the resources of family firms and engaging key stakeholders to support entrepreneurial ventures and growth opportunities. Among the practical contributions, the article offers a set of strategies for assisting new leaders of family firms in their entrepreneurial pursuits.Ítem The role of entrepreneurial families in entrepreneurial ecosystems: the family social capital approach(Emerald Publishing, 2022) Benavides Salazar, Claudia Patricia ; Iturrioz Landart, Cristina ; Aragón Amonarriz, Cristina; Ibáñez Romero, AsunciónPurpose: This paper aims to investigate how entrepreneurial families (EFs) influence the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) by using the family social capital (FSC) approach. Design/methodology/approach: For this paper, the authors analyzed the Manizales EE as a case study. The authors used a variety of data collection procedures, including in-depth interviews with 26 entrepreneurs and mentors. Findings: The authors established how EFs affect EE development, identifying how the FSC bridging mechanisms impact the EE’s social and cultural attributes, boosting entrepreneurial dynamics. Originality/value: The results indicated the relevance of EFs’ embeddedness and the degree of the FSC institutionalization in promoting of entrepreneurship within the EEs.
