This chapter investigates how family firms balance tensions between economic and environmental goals arising in the course of decarbonization. Goal tensions and their resolution are particularly relevant in family firms due to the overlap between the family and the business. Employing the attention-based view, we conduct a multiple case study with eleven German firms and derive a model that connects a firm’s motivation and attitude toward decarbonization with a strategy for balancing economic and environmental goals.

摘要

This chapter investigates how family firms balance tensions between economic and environmental goals arising in the course of decarbonization. Goal tensions and their resolution are particularly relevant in family firms due to the overlap between the family and the business. Employing the attention-based view, we conduct a multiple case study with eleven German firms and derive a model that connects a firm’s motivation and attitude toward decarbonization with a strategy for balancing economic and environmental goals.
