How Does SEW Drive Innovation in an Internet Family Firm?

Abstract

Innovation is an important endogenous power to ensure the survival and development of enterprises, especially for the family firms in the internet industry. As an important link of organizational governance, innovation decision-making is of great significance. This paper discusses the heterogeneous influence of SEW (social emotional wealth) on internet family firms innovation. In previous studies on the concept of SEW and innovation, the empirical results were often divergent, because the heterogeneity of SEW intention was ignored. According to the classification of SEW, the paper studied the impact of SEW on internet family firm innovation from the perspective of extended SEW and constrained SEW. This thesis more truly reflects the subjective influence of SEW on the innovation decision-making of internet family firms.
