Special Issue: Unveiling the Roles of Intellectual Capital in Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

Vincenzo Maggioni

Governare un'impresa familiare e assicurarle una certa continuità nel tempo non compito agevole: in Italia meno di un terzo delle imprese familiari sopravvive alla seconda generazione e solo il 15% la supera. In un momento congiunturalmente avverso alla crescita delle imprese viene spontaneo chiedersi quali siano le strategie che un family business debba realizzare per avviare processi di sviluppo e ricominciare a crescere; quali fonti del vantaggio competitivo coltivare o quali leve attivare affinché, nonostante la crisi internazionale dei mercati finanziari e la diffusa sensazione di recessione, le imprese familiari riescano a sostenere il loro successo. Affari di famiglia non è solo un lavoro monografico sul governo dei family business: è anche un'esplorazione su tematiche emergenti, trattate con un approccio pratico e innovativo (dalla pink family entrepreneurship al glass ceiling nel rapporto successorio verso la figlia, dall'inserimento di un non family CEO all'esame del rapporto tra il sistema creditizio e le imprese familiari post Basilea 3). L'impresa dà potere alla famiglia e la famiglia, a sua volta, potenzia e rende più solida e forte l'impresa al fine di generare valore. Ma si parla sempre e comunque di affari di famiglia.

Family businesses—the predominant form of business organization around the world—can make numerous, critical contributions to the economy and family well-being in both financial and qualitative terms. But dysfunctional family businesses can be difficult to manage, painful experiences at best, and they can destroy family wealth and personal relationships. This book explores the dynamics of family business management, in the context of constantly changing market conditions and the role that knowledge management plays in strategic planning and adaptation. Integrating the literature from family business, entrepreneurship, industrial psychology, and knowledge management, and with illustrative examples from a variety of enterprises, the authors address such topics as: •How family businesses can compete in the new knowledge economy •How to manage a family business when knowledge is its main asset •How to transfer knowledge (and how to keep it alive) through family generations Within this framework, the authors argue that effective resource management—especially intangible resources—is central to enabling a family-run organization to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage over time. They note that families often develop systemic, intuitive, or tacit knowledge that transcends rational decision making and needs to be recognized and nurtured as a distinctive asset. The authors demonstrate that trans-generational value is achieved when the family firm innovates and adapts itself to changing external and internal conditions. This kind of entrepreneurial performance requires dynamic capabilities and processes designed to acquire, exchange, combine and even shed knowledge and practices; and, in turn, dynamic capabilities result from mechanisms of knowledge sharing, collective learning, experience accumulation, and transfer.

Based on papers from the 4th Business Systems Laboratory International Symposium (BSLAB) in 2016, this volume contributes to the business management, organizational and innovation literature by providing insights on the antecedents of systems thinking in the business systems domain. The Business Systems Laboratory International Symposium addresses current global economic and social challenges from a systemic perspective, drawing from the domains of management, economics, engineering and sociology. In particular, the 2016 Symposium focuses on the epistemological, theoretical, methodological, technical and practical contributions that represent advancements in the theory and practice of governing business systems to address present and future challenges in the global economy. The contributions explore the application of systems thinking to governance, involving the introduction of new administrative organizational and managerial activities aimed toward organizational innovation and control.
