Abstract:
Prior research has analyzed R&D spending in family and founder firms. Yet, little is known about the technological importance and economic value of innovations in these types of firms. Using patent and patent citation data, we show that founder-managed firms, which we argue favor an entrepreneurial orientation, produce innovations with superior technological significance and economic value when compared to other firms, even controlling for R&D spending. By contrast family-managed firms, many of which, we argue, pursue socioemotional wealth for the family, produce innovations of less technological significance and economic value, again, controlling for R&D spending.
