Strategy, ownership, governance, and socio-psychological perspectives on family businesses from around the world (original) (raw)

This paper explores the evolving landscape of family business research, emphasizing the need for a broader understanding that encompasses strategies, ownership, governance, and socio-psychological dimensions. It critiques traditional perspectives that have often oversimplified the complexities of family systems and calls for a multidisciplinary approach to enhance the examination of family firms. The authors identify critical challenges for future research, including the need to operationalize family system variables and to integrate insights from various related disciplines to enrich the understanding of family business dynamics.
