Commentary: Exploiting and Exploring New Opportunities over Life Cycle Stages of Family Firms (2011, background): “As argued by Patel and Fiet (2011), family firms enjoy unique experience and knowledge asset advantages in such areas.”
The Ability and Willingness Paradox in Family Firm Innovation (2015, background): “…occurs even though they are thought to have superior ability in identifying opportunities and acquiring knowledge from outside their boundaries because of their non-economic goals, long-term orientation, and ties with external stakeholders (Miller and Le Breton-Miller, 2005; Patel and Fiet, 2011).”
Psychological ownership, knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial orientation in family firms: The moderating role of governance heterogeneity (2018, unknown): “Knowledge sharing represents a manifestation of the stewardship attitude in family firms (Eddleston et al., 2010; Patel & Fiet, 2011) and strengthens firms' ability to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities (e.g., Chirico & Salvato, 2014; Zahra, Neubaum, & Larrañeta, 2007).”
Entrepreneurship and Family Firm Research: A Bibliometric Analysis of An Emerging Field* (2016, background): “In the meantime, a small number of articles analyze the process of recognizing and identifying opportunities for entrepreneurship in the context of the family business, both in a local, national, or international contexts (Patel and Fiet 2011; Zucchella, Palamara, and Denicolai 2007).”
How Familial Is Family Social Capital? Analyzing Bonding Social Capital in Family and Nonfamily Firms (2018, background): “Moreover, they frequently possess noneconomic goals that render their knowledge structures more complex (Patel & Fiet, 2011), and nonfamily members may find it difficult to understand this complex system of goals and meanings (Mitchell et al., 2003).”
Knowledge Internalization and Product Development in Family Firms: When Relational and Affective Factors Matter (2016, background): “In a similar vein, Patel and Fiet (2011) argue that managers in family firms can combine their knowledge effectively, which provides them with distinct advantages over nonfamily firms in identifying entrepreneurial opportunities.”
