Abstract: The ability to pursue both exploitation and exploration is known to enhance family firm performance Nevertheless, the interplay that family-centered non-economic goals and socioemotional wealth preservation have in the process of exploitation and exploration is still unknown In this exploratory study, we address ambidextrous orientation and socioemotional wealth preservation of entrepreneurial families, to introduce the “dual balance” of Transgenerational Families Using cluster analysis in the Latin American context, our study attempts to open further discussions in the intersection of strategic management with family business research

Measuring Regulatory Intensity by the Spanish Regions (1978-2009)

Abstract: This paper constructs several objective indicators of regulatory intensity in the context of the Spanish decentralization since 1978. Our aim is to develop a quantitative measure of the levels of regulatory intensity set by different regions in Spain. The dynamic nature of the decentralization process requires that we take into account the initial institutional framework for decentralization and the successive transfers of powers to the regions. As a result, we obtain a series of variables that measure regulatory intensity across Spanish regions in the period 1978-2009.

Networks and Effectiveness in Work Teams: The Impact of Diversity

Abstract: This paper examine the role of social networks as mediating factors in the relationship between diversity and work team effectiveness. These effects were tested with a sample of 71 organizational teams. Results show that the degree of diversity in a team influences the density and centralization of the communication network. In turn, network density and centralization affect work team outcomes. Results are discussed in terms of their theoretical significance for network and diversity theory.
