This paper examines whether, according to socio-emotional wealth (SEW), family firms (FFs) differ from non-family firms (non-FFs) in terms of the propensity to innovate in automation. We make a regression analysis based on a sample of 4,150 Italian firms. Drawing on the SEW framework, the analysis revealed that FFs are less prone to innovate in automation compared to non-FFs due to three sew endowments: the family’s feeling to care for employees, the inner pride related to family and firm reputation, and the inner feeling to be socially responsible.

Abstract
This paper examines whether, according to socio-emotional wealth (SEW), family firms (FFs) differ from non-family firms (non-FFs) in terms of the propensity to innovate in automation. We make a regression analysis based on a sample of 4,150 Italian firms. Drawing on the SEW framework, the analysis revealed that FFs are less prone to innovate in automation compared to non-FFs due to three sew endowments: the family’s feeling to care for employees, the inner pride related to family and firm reputation, and the inner feeling to be socially responsible.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
