Ämne/kurs: FEKH99, Examensarbete i Entreprenörskap och Innovation på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng
Författare: Erik Bodin, Johan Erikson och Axel Thornell
Handledare: Joakim Winborg
Nyckelord: Socioemotionellt värde, Innovation, Beslutsfattande, Familjeföretag, Tradition
Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkas det innovativa beslutsfattandet inom familjeföretag av socioemotionella värden?
Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur den innovativa beslutsprocessen i ett familjeföretag påverkas av sociala och morala aspekter inom SEV med stöd i FIBER-ramverket.
Metod: En kvalitativ fallstudie utförd på ett familjeföretag med semistrukturerade intervjuer från ägarfamiljen och medarbetare. Det empiriska materialet består av citat från enskilda intervjuer med respektive intervjuperson och rör innovation, tradition, beslutsfattande och socioemotionella värden.
Teoretiska perspektiv: Det teoretiska ramverket grundar sig i tidigare forskning om socioemotionella värden, familjeföretag, innovation och Innovation-decision process.
Resultat: Studien har identifierat påverkan som socioemotionella värden har på innovativt beslutsfattande kopplat till familjeföretag. Resultatet visar att de socioemotionella värdena indirekt beaktas vid näst intill alla beslut och upprätthålls av tradition, bolagets historia och mentaliteten på företaget.
Slutsats: Studien har visat att det innovativa beslutsfattandet påverkas av socioemotionella värden enligt följande faktorer: Vikten av dialog och långvariga samarbetspartners för att möjliggöra innovation. Anställdas nära relation till ägarfamiljen där familjens värderingar och kultur lagt grunden för långsiktighet och kvalitet framför ekonomiska resultat. Studien har även visat att det råder delad uppfattning internt kring innovativt beslutsfattande sett till processen från tanke till handling. Steget mellan tanke och implementering av en innovation anses vara lättare utifrån den tillit en anställd har hos ägarfamiljen. Vid ett generationsskifte är det vanligt att dissonans uppstår, det skapas en dragkamp mellan den nya generationens idéer och den gamla generationens traditionella arbetssätt. (Less)

Title: Tradition from Generation to Innovation - Insight into a Family Business's Innovative Decision-Making: A Qualitative Case Study on How a Family Business's Innovative Decision-Making is Influenced by Socioemotional wealth.
Seminar date: May 30th 2024
Course: FEKH99, Bachelor Degree Project in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, Business Administration, Undergraduate level, 15 University Credits Points
Authors: Erik Bodin, Johan Erikson and Axel Thornell
Advisor: Joakim Winborg
Key words: Socioemotional wealth, Innovation, Decision-Making, Family Business, Tradition
Research question: How is innovative decision-making within family businesses influenced by socioemotional wealth?
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the innovative decision-making process in a family business is influenced by social and moral aspects within SEW, supported by the FIBER framework.
Methodology: A qualitative case study conducted on a family business with semi-structured interviews from the owner family and employees. The empirical material consists of quotes from individual interviews with each interviewee and concerns innovation, tradition, decision-making, and socioemotional wealth.
Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical framework is based on previous research on socioemotional wealth, family businesses, innovation, and the innovation decision process model.
Result: The study has identified the impact that Socio-emotional wealth has on innovative decision-making related to family businesses. The results show that Socio-emotional wealth is indirectly considered in almost all decisions and is maintained by tradition, the company's history, and the mentality within the company.
Conclusions: The study has shown that innovative decision-making is influenced by socioemotional wealth according to the following factors: The importance of dialogue and long-term partners to enable innovation. Employees' close relationship with the owning family, where the family's values and culture have laid the foundation for long-term thinking and quality over economic results. The study has also shown that there is an internal split regarding innovative decision-making in terms of the process from idea to action. The step between idea and implementation of an innovation is considered easier based on the trust an employee has with the owning family. During a generational shift, it is common for dissonance to arise, creating a tug-of-war between the new generation's ideas and the old generation's traditional ways of working. (Less)
