“…The transition from a centrally planned to a free market economy led to a wave of new ventures (Cieslik and Kąciak, 2009), many of which were family businesses (Kowalewski et al, 2010;Baginska, 2019;Marjanski and Sułkowski, 2019). Tien et al (2019) describe the unique traits of Polish family firms, over erstwhile underdeveloped counterparts [like Vietnam], as their adaptability to a free market system and the benefit of assimilation into the common European market. Others cited peculiarities of family firms in Poland such as an advanced skills-set and competencies among the workforce, evident multiculturalism, planned intergenerational succession and gender equality in management and operations (Tien et al, 2019).…”

Owing to being a relatively new market society, there is also a higher concentration of first-generation family businesses in Poland that have retained a controlling stake in the firm (Kubica and Szarucki, 2016).…”

“…This study argues that the male child is usually the preferred successor in Zimbabwean FOPBCs. These findings are in line with suggestions by Tien, et al, (2019) who noted that in most Asian countries, male supremacy also spills into family businesses. In their study, Chen et al, (2021) also reported that male family entrepreneurs in China dominated females.…”

This work is especially dedicated to my dear wife, Abigail Chipere, and children, Tinotendaishe Farai, Rumbidzo Mitchelle and Tinomudaishe Kelvin. It is meant to inspire you my children in your studies. I also hope that this framework will be useful to you and the generations to come in the preservation and continued growth of whatever the little wealth we have. My parents, the lates, Takaindisa Zindora and Tendai, this is also for you. Your memories continue to guide my life. Dad, for your love of reading, I wish you could have been here to witness me complete this journey.iii COPYRIGHTNo part of this dissertation may be reproduced, stored in any retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means for scholarly purposes without prior written permission of the author or University of KwaZulu Natal on behalf of the author. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people who have made the compilation of this dissertation a success. Professor Emmanuel Mutambara, my main supervisor, I salute your patience, commitment, encouragement, and the proficient guidance throughout this research. Without you I would not have gotten a place at University of KwaZulu Natal, and this dissertation would not have been a successyou returned edits and comments in record time. The same for Dr. Christopher Chikandiwa, my co-supervisor, you provided guidance, and you were a pillar of encouragement throughout. Messrs. Misheck Diza and Alois Matongo and brothers in law, Jameson, and Aron Gotora, also deserve great mention for all the support they provided. The Gotoras, being domiciled in South Africa, always provided financial and payments convenience assistance timeously for smooth academic registration as was required. With Mr Misheck Diza, because of time constraints, we spent sleepless nights discussing and exchanging notes on issues of this dissertation. It would be unfair not to mention Mr. Misheck Diza's wife for the family time she sacrificed as dad was on matters of this research. Mr Alois Matongo constantly enquired on progress giving impetus for actionat one time instructed me to drop everything else and devote my entire attention to this thesis.I owe it heavily too to all the participants of this research for both the in-depth interviews and survey questionnaire responses, for without their precious time they sacrificed, this project would not have been possible. Respondents for the interviews exercised great patience throughout all the questions. It is also befitting for me here to thank the entire UKZN staff, including Academic Leaders, for the efforts they generously provided in their various capacities. I would like to thank my dear wife, Abigail, and family, for the innumerable support rendered as I pursued my studies for this doctoral degree. Finally, I humbly beg for forgiveness from all those who deserve mention but whose names I have forgotten to include on this list.

“…However, we can assume the majority of media family businesses as entrepreneurial businesses as well. In another research, researchers have identified trust as the critical element for sustaining and developing family businesses (Tien et al , 2019). Agbim (2018) also shares that trust and commitment are among the essential factors for the developmental visions of a family business.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate social capital's effect on family business development in selected family media firms.Design/methodology/approachThe statistical population includes 100 individuals who run a family business in this industry. Eighty individuals are selected as the research sample through the stratified random sampling method. The data are collected using a questionnaire. The authors used structural equation modelling method for data analysis.FindingsThe results indicate that social capital affects the development of family businesses in media firms. According to the results obtained from the structural equation test, the effect of the relational dimension of social capital on trust and the effect of the cognitive and structural dimensions of social capital on trust are supported, while the effect of the relational dimension of social capital on commitment as well as the effect of the cognitive dimension of social capital on trust are not supported.Practical implicationsThis research could help family firms in media industries improve trust and commitment by paying attention to different aspects of social capital. Besides, it shows that even the impact of relational and cognitive social capital, respectively, on commitment and trust, are not supported; these two could affect trust and commitment, respectively.Originality/valueThe paper is among the first studies that investigate family firms in media industries. Besides, the relationships between relational, cognitive and structural aspects of social capital and trust and commitment are rarely studied in the literature as two determinants of family business development.
