Relevance of family business legitimacy and the attributtes of nation in internationalisation
| Resumo: | This study aims to analyse the influence that a nation's attributes have on its level of internationalisation, as well as the relevance of family business legitimacy in both. To this end, we present a version of Porter's Diamond Model, by adding a new variable: the Family Business Legitimacy (FBL). We use three measures of internationalisation and for each measure we run six econometric models. The main conclusion drawn from this study is that the prevalence and prize of family businesses in a country positively influences its Exports and outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows and, consequently, its development. This study presents several contributions since it links the existing literature on International Trade theories with International Business theories and brings a new perspective to the Family Business literature. |
