Family firm performance: The influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity

Felipe Hernández‐Perlines, Juan Moreno‐García, Benito Yáñez‐Araque · 2017 · Psychology and Marketing

Summary. This study examines how entrepreneurial orientation affects family firm performance in Spain, finding that absorptive capacity—the ability to recognize, assimilate, and apply new knowledge—mediates this relationship. The research shows that family firms cannot improve performance through entrepreneurial orientation alone; they must develop absorptive capacity to translate entrepreneurial efforts into actual business results.
