Economic lenses and Family Business
By Priyatej Kotipalli PhD (Erasmus University)
Head: Center for Indian Family Business: Kumaraguru Institutions
The academic conversations in the discipline of family business research are varied and many. They comprise issues that arise from two areas. First is about the context in which families operate and this manifests in the articulation of values, purposes, and cultural and social framings, institutionalized, and transmitted through generations. The second is about how family-owned enterprises deal with and operate their firms in dynamic business environments and the challenges that accompany the interplay of family ownership and the practical realities of running a business. In these conversations, the economic lenses that are used to study choices and outcomes are neo- classical in their framing. Here the most important goods that are produced for a viable enterprise are private in nature and the realization of financial values is an indicator of performance.
When we look deeper at how families take their business decisions, they are moored at one end in values, and sense of purpose. It’s a family legacy that needs to be preserved and passed on to the next generation which is transmitted and renewed by the co-creation of shared goods and commons. On the other end is the realization of financial values and profit. Conflict arises when the realization of financial values comes at the cost of the shared and common values of the family. In most family own enterprises there exists this tension and conflict between these contrasting values. However, given the dominance of neo-classical economics, financial values trump all other values as we cannot motivate or articulate the importance of other values that help in the cocreation of shared goods and commons. It’s in this context that we introduce the value-based approach to economics as a set of new economic lenses that will help talk about these values which are otherwise seen as soft. The paper will explore the limitations of neo-classical economics in uncovering and articulating shared and common goods that family-owned enterprises produce. It will further point out the significance of these in the decision-making process.
