Theoretical developments and future research in family business

"This volume offers a starting point for researchers in family enterprises to conceptualize such organizations holistically, embedded in a larger institutional context, and dynamically. The eleven contributed research chapters cover three broad themes: general approaches to conceptualizing the family enterprise, dynamic models of the family enterprise and succession as a core institution in family enterprises. The research demonstrates that various theory building and empirical approaches can be used to research family enterprises and suggests that explicit consideration of the family enterprises can improve the explanatory power of extant models related to the theory of the firm."--Jacket
