This thesis links family business research to immigrant context through an exploration of immigrant business families. In particular, I pose the following research question: What factors in the immigrant context affect transgenerational intent of immigrant business families? To answer this question, I focus on “family” as the central element through which immigrant context exerts influence on transgenerational intent.
I first establish theoretical groundwork through two parts: 1) conceiving immigrant context as exposure to country differences in family logic, where immigrants can respond to home and host country family logics in various ways, and 2) reconceptualizing family logic as having four dimensions: physical, temporal, social, and symbolic, to enable micro-analysis.
Then I proceed with two empirical studies. The first study is a multiple-case study with a sample of Taiwanese immigrant business families in Brisbane, Australia. In this study, I was able to locate conflicting family logics in an empirical setting and examined how their effects on transgenerational intent occurred for the case of immigrant Chinese. I found that the transgenerational intent of immigrant Taiwanese business families was associated with choices they made in the social dimension of their family logic in regards to three practices: parental control, children’s filial piety, and parental role in children’s career development. Through retroductive theorizing, I offer an explanation why this is so.
In Study 2, arguments derived from Study 1 were quantitatively tested using a sample of 29 immigrant business families from Taiwan and China residing in Brisbane. I attempted to link parental control, children’s filial piety, and parental role in children’s career development to child’s and parent’s transgenerational intent. Findings showed that mother’s parental control and children’s filial piety were significantly related to child’s transgenerational intent, while parental role in children’s career development was significantly related to parent’s transgenerational intent.
