Je socioemocionální bohatství unikátní pro rodinné firmy?

It is often claimed that family firms abound in so-called socio-emotional wealth (SEW), however, there is no evidence to confirm the absence of this phenomenon in non-family firms as well. The present master’s thesis therefore aims to explore the so far poorly explored area of socio-emotional wealth in non-family companies. The research is executed using the exploratory method of case studies and is carried out in cooperation with six Czech companies. Questions for respondents were created within the framework of the FIBER model, which consists of five categories of socio-emotional wealth, each addressing a different aspect of SEW. It was found that socio-emotional wealth is present in non-family companies in the form of the company's independence from external influences, the high desirability of the company's good reputation by the owners and substantial efforts to maintain long-term and strong relationships with the company's stakeholders. In the presented model, at least two of the five SEW categories are confirmed to be applicable for non-family businesses.
