Shifting Socioemotional Wealth Prioritization During a Crisis Shifting socioemotional wealth prioritization during a crisis A content analysis of statements to shareholders of family businesses MASTER THESIS WITHIN: Business Administration NUMBER OF CREDITS: 30 ECTS PROGRAMME OF STUDY: Global Management AUTHORS: Stella Alice Gisela Heuer & Lajos Szabó TUTOR: Tommaso Minola JÖNKÖPING May 2021 Master Thesis in Business Administration Title: Shifting socioemotional wealth prioritization during a crisis: A content analysis of statements to shareholders of family businesses Authors: Stella Alice Gisela Heuer and Lajos Szabó Tutor: Tommaso Minola Date: 2021-05-24 Key terms: Family business, socioemotional wealth, FIBER, COVID-19, content analysis, Sweden, Germany Abstract Family businesses are generally considered to be the most prevalent form of business around the world. They have also been shown to differ from their non-family counterparts due the non- economic factors that influence their decision-making. One of the most widely used conceptualization of these factors concerns the controlling family’s socioemotional endowment or in other words, the family’s socioemotional wealth. Newer approaches have proposed that socioemotional wealth can not only be broken down into several component dimensions, but that these dimensions may shift in prioritization in response to different contingencies. The sudden spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global crisis that has followed in its wake is one such contingency, impacting economies and family firms virtually everywhere in the world. Studying the crisis’ effects on family firms has thus already been outlined as a major focus of research going forward. This paper aims to develop the concept of socioemotional wealth as a dynamic construct and study the crisis’ effects on family firms. We conduct a content analysis of 20 Swedish and 20 German publicly listed family firms’ statements to shareholders published over a three-year period coinciding with the emergence of the crisis. Thus, this research presents an empirical look at how family firms in the contexts of two differing governmental responses to the crisis prioritized the different dimensions of their socioemotional wealth. The results show the families’ emotional attachment coming to the forefront in both cases, with no significant difference between the two countries’ family firms. Furthermore, we observe the families’ socioemotional ties to their employees retain their pre-crisis prevalence as the most prioritized dimension. This is accompanied by a deepening of the quality of the communication tied to this dimension of socioemotional wealth with it coming to reflect the emerging solidarity and cultural changes resulting from the crisis. The results suggest that family firms may respond to a crisis on the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic through their decision-making being increasingly influenced by their emotional attachment to the firm, while also retaining a focus on preserving strong social ties to their employees to persevere through the difficult period. i Acknowledgements We would like to give our gratitude to our supervisor, Tommaso Minola, for his unyielding support and valuable feedback during the writing of this thesis.

Bayer, PhD Gisella Vogel Sarah Kaltenhäuser Katherine Storrs Jiahua (Java) Xu, PhD Juan Ignacio Ibañez, LL.M. Title: A New Responsibility for Sustainability: Corporate Non-Financial Reporting in Germany Date published: May 6, 2019 Funded by: iPoint-systems gmbh www.ipoint-systems.com Executive Summary Germany's economy is the fourth-largest in the world (by nominal GDP), and with 28% of the euro area market, it represents the largest economy in Europe.1 Considering the supply chains leading to its economy, Germany's cumulative environmental, social and governance performance reverberates globally. The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) is the impetus behind this study – a new regulation that seeks to “increase the relevance, consistency and comparability of information disclosed by certain large undertakings and groups across the Union.”2 Large undertakings in EU member states are not only required to report on their financial basics, now they are also required by Article 1 of the Directive to account for their non- financial footprint, including adverse impacts they have on the environment and supply chains. In accordance with the Directive, the German transposition stipulates that the non-financial declaration must state which reporting framework was used to create it (or explain why no framework was applied), as well as apply non-financial key performance indicators relevant to the particular business. These requirements are our point of departure: We systematically assess the degree of non-financial transparency and performance reporting for 2017 applying an ex-post assessment framework premised on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the German Sustainability Code (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, DNK) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

  • Determinants and Value of Enterprise Risk Management: Empirical Evidence from Germany
    Determinants and Value of Enterprise Risk Management: Empirical Evidence from Germany Philipp Lechner, Nadine Gatzert Working Paper Department of Insurance Economics and Risk Management Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) Version: February 2017 1 DETERMINANTS AND VALUE OF ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM GERMANY Philipp Lechner, Nadine Gatzert* This version: February 21, 2017 ABSTRACT Enterprise risk management (ERM) has become increasingly relevant in recent years, espe- cially due to an increasing complexity of risks and the further development of regulatory frameworks. The aim of this paper is to empirically analyze firm characteristics that deter- mine the implementation of an ERM system and to study the impact of ERM on firm value. We focus on companies listed at the German stock exchange, which to the best of our knowledge is the first empirical study with a cross-sectional analysis for Germany and one of the first for a European country. Our findings show that size, international diversifica- tion, and the industry sector (banking, insurance, energy) positively impact the implementa- tion of an ERM system, and financial leverage is negatively related to ERM engagement. In addition, our results confirm a significant positive impact of ERM on shareholder value. Keywords: Enterprise risk management; firm characteristics; shareholder value JEL Classification: G20; G22; G32 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years, enterprise risk management (ERM) has become increasingly relevant, espe- cially against the background of an increasing complexity of risks, increasing dependencies between risk sources, more advanced methods of risk identification and quantification and information technologies, the consideration of ERM systems in rating processes, as well as stricter regulations in the aftermath of the financial crisis, among other drivers (see, e.g., Hoyt and Liebenberg, 2011; Pagach and Warr, 2011).
