Creating Social Reciprocity – The Role of Trust Network Reproduction and Social Learning: Evidence from a Medium-Sized Family Firm in Germany (2016)
Thesis
Winsor, J. Creating Social Reciprocity – The Role of Trust Network Reproduction and Social Learning: Evidence from a Medium-Sized Family Firm in Germany. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/977842

This research introduces a framework for explaining why managing family members create a shared understanding of caring and being cared for with their nonfamily employees, called ‘Social Reciprocity’. Applying an embedded case study design, using gro...
