Auteurs : Alkama Aghiles . Guerchouh Mouloud .

Résumé

This research examines the relationship between the governance structure of a large Algerian family business and its ability to adopt responsible governance practices. By drawing on an integrative theoretical framework combining stakeholder theory, socio-emotional capital theory, cultural and sociological approaches and neo-institutional theory, it demonstrates that family governance gives rise to a hybrid model in which socio-emotional capital, family reputation and territorial roots produce a pragmatic and relational form of responsible governance. Based on four semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, the case study of Laiterie Soummam identifies three theoretical contributions: a contextualised interpretation of socio-emotional capital, the identification of a relational CSR specific to emerging economies, and the highlighting of the manager’s agency in the face of isomorphic pressures.
