Studi tentang praktik manajemen stratejik dan pengaruhnya terhadap kewirausahaan pada perusahaan keluarga terus berkembang akhir-akhir ini. Namun demikian, masih sedikit studi yang mengkaji hubungan tersebut pada family business groups, yang memiliki kareakteristik unik yaitu adanya corporate center yang mengelola strategi korporasi dalam sebuah kelompok usaha, dan adanya manajemen keluarga yang berpengaruh terhadap proses pengambilan keputusan stratejik termasuk tentang kewirausahaan dan inovasi baik di level korporat maupun di level unit bisnis. Tujuan studi ini adalah untuk mengakaji dan menganalisis pengaruh dari penerapan corporate parenting role oleh corporate center dalam bentuk pendekatan kinerja di unit bisnis yaitu melalui pengaruh terhadap tingkat EO dan inisiatif strategis. Pendekatan strategic planning yang dijalankan oleh corporate center berpengaruh positif terhadap tingkat EO dan inisiatif strategis di unit bisnis. Sementara pendekatan strategic control berpengaruh positif terhadap tingkat EO tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap inisiatif strategis di unit bisnis. Sedangkan penerapan pendekatanfinancial control berpengaruh negative terhadap tingkat EO dan tidak berpengaruh terhadap inisiatif strategis di unit bisnis. Selain itu, family influence berpengaruh positif terhadap tingkat EO dan inisiatif strategis di unit bisnis. Pada level unit bisnis, ditemukan bahwa, tingkat EO tidak berhubungan langsung dengan kinerja, tetapi pengaruhnya akan positif terhadap kinerja apabila EO sudah diwujudkan dalam bentuk inisiatif strategis.

Meanwhile, strategic control approach has positive influence on the EO levels but not on strategic initiatives in business units.

Moreover, family influence has positive influence on the EO level and strategic initiatives in business units.
