Family firm internationalization has become a topic of interest over the last few decades. However, there has been surprisingly little research about the actual international business decision-making in the family firm literature. The purpose of this article is to highlight specific family firm factors which affect the international business decision-making. Based on examples on international market entry, target market choice, entry mode choice, and entry timing decisions, it is suggested that long-term and regional orientation, knowledge-base and its transfer, bifurcation-bias, and perseverance of family managers are important factors affecting international business decision-making among family SMEs.

This paper seeks to resolve the controversy regarding the relationship between family management and technological innovation outcomes. In contrast to prior studies, we focus on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and go beyond the traditional input-output statistical analysis, by introducing the mediating effect of the use of management control systems (MCS). We also further examine heterogeneity among family firms, studying whether a greater family management influences, directly or indirectly, on technological innovation outcomes. Our results from a data consists of 199 Spanish family-owned small and medium enterprises (FSMEs) were not able to indicate a significant direct influence of the level of family management on technological innovation outcome but supported the notion that the utilization of MCS mediated the above relationship.

The purpose of this research is to compare the integration of the supply chain of international family businesses with the integration of the supply chain of non-international family businesses in the food sector of Michoacán, Mexico, in order to analyze whether there are differences between the relationship of companies with their suppliers and customers given the international context. The supply chain integration is measured through the methodology of arcs of integration, to graphically represent the integration towards suppliers or customers, illustrated through an arc. The measurement instrument was applied to 93 family food manufacturing companies, of which only 14 companies participate in the international market. Statistics such as ANOVA is used to analyze the data and obtain valid results. The study determined that the internationalization of the family business contributes significantly to the integration of the supply chain in terms of suppliers, but not in terms of customers.

Gallo and Sveen, in 1991, specified problems of whether family businesses can take advantage of factors facilitating internationalization. We compare family and non-family businesses in innovation, export, and growth-expectation, and consider how outcomes are aligned, with a coupling that may be loose, with a synergy that benefits the business. This raises a further issue, is governance of a business affecting not only each of the outcomes but also their coupling. A representative sample of 530 Iranian businesses was surveyed in 2018 for Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Innovation, export, and growth-expectation are found to be lower in family businesses. Coupling between innovation and export, and also between export and growth-expectation, are found to be looser in family businesses. - Findings suggest that coupling among performance outcomes in family businesses can feasibly be tightened, thereby reinforcing performance. The findings contribute to understanding the performance endeavors of family businesses as problematized by Gallo and Sveen.

Research to date has shown that companies can accumulate resources over those strictly needed in order to overcome the uncertainty associated to a crisis. But the usage, redeployment, or consumption of this excess of resources when facing an adverse environment is yet underexplored. As suggested by the literature, the condition of family business can exert an important effect in such behaviour. This paper proposes a theoretical framework, focused on family business, about how firms manage the different slack resources when facing a general crisis. We make a call on family business scholars to leverage our propositions and the existing literature on slack resources to develop a guidance for family owners when facing an economic downturn.

This paper proposes that family firms do not necessarily internationalize less than non-family businesses, but rather, they do it more slowly. Lower speed of internationalization process of family business (measured by the speed of the export development process) is a consequence of the role of the socio-emotional wealth (SEW) in these firms. SEW operates through three different mechanisms: (1) long-term orientation, (2) risk avoidance, and (3) lack of resources to be independent. The empirical research, based on a panel of more than a thousand Spanish manufacturing firms along nine years (2006-2014), supports the hypothesis proposed, independently of firm’s previous size, age, and export commitment level.

The European Journal of Family Business (EJFB) was founded in 2011 with the name Revista de Empresa Familiar, changing its name to the current EJFB in 2016. As a result, the year 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of this journal, which provides an appropriate occasion to share our vision for the direction of the journal, identifying some priorities for the coming years. We inherit a journal that wants to be a platform through which to explore new perspectives of family business research, enhancing the communication between academia and practice. We aim to support rigorous research with practical interest for family firms and entrepreneurial families while also nurturing new and overlooked lines of research that might deepen our understanding of the family firm field. We envision EJFB as a point of convergence where the rich heterogeneity of the family business realm presents competing perspectives, from which scholars and practitioners can question, enrich and extend the dialogue between academia and practice. We are also committed to fostering conversations in different fields that work in the broad domain of family business, welcoming scholarship from affiliated fields. In addition to research papers and reviews, we encourage the submission of articles that provide new ideas or perspectives by building upon existing or new theories to understand contemporary trends related to enterprises in general and family firms in particular, point/counterpoint debates, articles with a practical orientation and practitioner commentaries. Overall, we look forward to serving and bridging the gap between research and practice by facilitating communication in both directions. The journal will feature a new section entitled Commentary where family business practitioners can write about their experiences. We believe that their comments will help ‘theorists and researchers keep practice in mind when they do their work’ (Vought et al., 2008, p. 1112). The aim of this section is to enhance the research agenda by learning scientifically from practice and also applying ‘the theoretical and empirical research findings back to practice’ (Strike, 2012, p. 168). We believe this new editorial team is particularly well suited to the tasks of supporting research of family firms for its applicability to practice and helping practitioners advance family firms' knowledge from a research perspective. We therefore look forward to working with a global community of family business scholars and practitioners. In concluding this introduction, the Editorial Team of EJFB wants to thank the journal’s founder and outgoing editor, Dr. Vanesa Guzman-Parra, who saw the need for a journal dedicated to advancing research on family firms. We also extend a heartfelt thank you to the Editorial Board for the trust they have placed in us as the new Editorial Team. We would also like to thank our Managing Editor J. Roberto Vila and UMA Editorial for their continued and substantial assistance tha
《欧洲家族企业杂志》(EJFB)成立于2011年，原名revsta de Empresa Familiar, 2016年更名为目前的EJFB。因此，2021年是本刊创刊10周年，这为我们提供了一个适当的机会，分享我们对期刊发展方向的愿景，确定未来几年的一些优先事项。我们继承了一本希望成为探索家族企业研究新视角的平台的期刊，加强了学术界与实践之间的交流。我们的目标是支持对家族企业和创业家族有实际兴趣的严谨研究，同时也培养新的和被忽视的研究方向，这些研究方向可能加深我们对家族企业领域的理解。我们将EJFB设想为一个汇合点，在这里，家族企业领域的丰富异质性呈现出相互竞争的观点，学者和从业者可以从中提出问题，丰富和扩展学术界与实践之间的对话。我们还致力于促进与家族企业广泛领域相关的不同领域的对话，欢迎来自相关领域的奖学金。除了研究论文和评论之外，我们鼓励提交基于现有或新理论的文章，提供新的想法或观点，以理解与一般企业特别是家族企业相关的当代趋势，观点/对位辩论，具有实践方向的文章和从业者评论。总的来说，我们期待通过促进两个方向的交流来服务和弥合研究和实践之间的差距。该杂志将开设一个名为“评论”的新栏目，家族企业从业者可以在其中写下他们的经历。我们相信他们的评论将有助于“理论家和研究人员在工作时牢记实践”(Vought et al.， 2008, p. 1112)。本节的目的是通过科学地从实践中学习，并将“理论和实证研究结果应用于实践”来加强研究议程(Strike, 2012, p. 168)。我们相信这个新的编辑团队特别适合支持家族企业研究的任务，因为它适用于实践，并帮助从业者从研究的角度推进家族企业的知识。因此，我们期待着与全球家族企业学者和从业者合作。在结束这篇介绍时，EJFB的编辑团队要感谢该杂志的创始人和即将离任的编辑Vanesa Guzman-Parra博士，她看到了一本致力于推进家族企业研究的杂志的必要性。我们也向编委会表示衷心的感谢，感谢他们对我们作为新的编辑团队的信任。我们还要感谢我们的执行主编J. Roberto Vila和UMA编辑部的持续和大量的帮助，使该杂志达到了一个重要的里程碑:它的十周年纪念!我们也要感谢所有的审稿人、读者和作者，无论是偶尔的还是经常的，感谢他们对EJFB的支持。我们期待在未来的问题上阅读您的见解。主编Amaia Maseda博士，巴斯克地区大学副主编Vanessa Diaz-Moriana博士，巴利阿里群岛大学Remedios博士Hernández-Linares，埃斯特雷马杜拉大学Valeriano Sanchez-Famoso博士，巴斯克地区大学

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the European Journal of Family Business (EJFB), we are pleased to present this issue (volume 11, no.1) that has involved the participation of prominent authors who have made significant contributions to the growth and consolidation of the family business in the field of research and to EJFB over the years. The papers presented in this issue provide an ideal opportunity to present how the field has evolved in recent years, but also to reflect on contemporary challenges in the broad domain of family business. When the journal was launched in 2011, family business research attracted widespread attention from a growing audience due to the relevance of the topic for scholars and practitioners. Family business practitioners (lawyers, accountants, business consultants, family office directors, family philanthropy managers, financial services advisors, management consultants, family therapists and psychologists among others) were key elements in the dawn of the family business (Sharma, Chrisman, & Gersick, 2012). Providing assistance to both family business operators and advisors in understanding family firms was indeed one of the many reasons for the creation of Family Business Review (Lansberg, Perrow, & Rogolsky, 1988) and later for the creation of the Journal of Family Business Strategy (Astrachan & Pieper, 2010). The family firm field is fortunate that many of those who have brought this field forward have focused on ensuring that the field had a good theoretical foundation that facilitated research and allowed the field to progress (Vought, Baker, & Smith, 2008). But it is also true that following the strong tradition of theory-building and testing expected in high-quality business journals (Sharma et al., 2012) has led the practice orientation of the family firm field to change over time (Reay, Pearson, & Dyer, 2013, p.209). The field became mostly research-oriented, relying heavily on quantitative empirical research. We believe that these studies should be complemented by other research approaches that allow for capturing the specific complexity and dynamics unique to family firms (Nordqvist Hall & Melin, 2009). The literature shows diverse examples of how collaboration between professionals and researchers (e.g., Davis et al., 2013) is a successful way to promote more research (Reay et al., 2013, pp. 210). In a business world that is increasingly cognisant of the critical role of evidence-based management, family firm practitioners need to be connected to research while having the potential to serve as a mechanism for transferring research knowledge to implementable practices (Reay et al., 2013). ‘Practitioners can identify the actions and access sources.

为了纪念《欧洲家族企业杂志》(EJFB)创刊十周年，我们很高兴地推出这一期(第11卷，第1号)，多年来，这些杰出的作者为家族企业在研究领域的发展和巩固以及EJFB做出了重大贡献。本期发表的论文提供了一个理想的机会，既可以展示近年来该领域的发展，也可以反思家族企业这一广泛领域面临的当代挑战。2011年创刊时，家族企业研究因其对学者和实践者的相关性，吸引了越来越多受众的广泛关注。家族企业从业者(律师、会计师、商业顾问、家族办公室主任、家族慈善事业经理、金融服务顾问、管理顾问、家庭治疗师和心理学家等)是家族企业诞生之初的关键因素(Sharma, Chrisman， & Gersick, 2012)。帮助家族企业经营者和顾问理解家族企业确实是创建《家族企业评论》(Lansberg, Perrow， & Rogolsky, 1988)以及后来创建《家族企业战略杂志》(Astrachan & Pieper, 2010)的众多原因之一。家族企业领域是幸运的，许多推动这一领域发展的人都致力于确保该领域拥有良好的理论基础，从而促进研究并使该领域取得进展(沃特，贝克，&史密斯，2008)。但是，遵循高质量商业期刊所期望的理论构建和测试的强大传统(Sharma et al.， 2012)也导致了家族企业领域的实践方向随着时间的推移而改变(Reay, Pearson， & Dyer, 2013, p.209)。该领域变得主要以研究为导向，严重依赖定量实证研究。我们认为，这些研究应该得到其他研究方法的补充，这些研究方法可以捕捉到家族企业特有的特定复杂性和动态(Nordqvist Hall & Melin, 2009)。文献展示了专业人员和研究人员之间的合作(例如，Davis et al.， 2013)是促进更多研究的成功方式(Reay et al.， 2013, pp. 210)的各种例子。在一个越来越认识到循证管理的关键作用的商业世界中，家族企业从业者需要与研究联系起来，同时有潜力作为将研究知识转化为可实施实践的机制(Reay et al.， 2013)。从业者可以识别操作并访问来源。研究人员必须寻找这些行为的意义，它们之间的相互联系，以及这些行为代表了什么，以发展理论命题”(Strike, 2012, pp. 168)。同样，更多以实践为导向的研究也是必要的，以帮助从业者从研究的角度提高他们对家族企业的认识。总之，从业者和研究人员需要共同努力，通过从实践中科学地学习，并将“理论和实证研究成果应用于实践”来加强研究议程(Strike, 2012, pp. 169)。这就是EJFB在新时代想要填补的空白。我们认为这个问题是我们对期刊愿景的一个很好的例子。因此，例如，Ernesto Poza-Valle(2021)的论文对学术研究和实践者最佳实践文献进行了回顾，强调了我们对所有权控制在创始人控制和家族控制企业的连续性中所起的作用知之甚少。法定所有权控制、心理所有权和家庭团结的方法都被考虑在未来所有权发展的角度和方法，控股家族可以采取保持所有权控制的探索。同样，根据作者与成功企业的企业家的经验，Miguel Angel Gallo(2021)的论文确定了家族企业实现跨代连续性的四个关键要素:共存、团结、专业和审慎。本文提供了指导，以帮助学者和从业者在家族企业领域追求家族企业的连续性。Cristina Cruz, Rachida Justo和Jeanne Roch(2021)扩展了我们对家族和公司之间交集的认识。特别是，他们发展了一个理论框架，解释了拥有企业的家族为什么以及如何从事影响力投资。对于一个家族企业来说，要想多年来保持可持续发展，就有必要研究企业内部的流程，并了解家族与企业之间的关系。 我们从哪里来，我们现在在哪里?Gloria Aparicio、Txomin Iturralde、jos<s:1> Carlos Casillas和Encarnación Ramos-Hidalgo(2021)对家族企业研究进行了文献计量分析，对2010年至2020年发表的3,368篇关于家族企业的文章进行了文献计量评估，给出了一个全面的概述。本研究对家族企业研究的现有知识进行了综合和组织。Paco Valera, news Feliu和Ivan Lansberg(2021)的论文提出了一个实用的观点。他们用生物DNA来比喻一般的和特殊的家族企业文化，并认为拉丁家族企业从历史上的罗马时代继承了四个关键的文化DNA构建模块——信任、忠诚、权威和正义。就像生物DNA一样，家族企业被迫改变以适应未来。他们利用公司30年来为拉丁家族企业提供咨询的经验，提供广泛的支持案例和故事。Juan Corona(2021)探讨了影响绝大多数家族企业成功继承的重大问题。通过他的专业知识，作者分享了他对接班人准备的重要性，家庭和谐的作用以及培养新一代领导人的必要性的看法。Gibb Dyer(2021)的评论从理论和实践两方面描述了过去四十年来家族企业领域的趋势。本书讨论了继承、家族企业咨询、家族企业的有效性、家族企业社会情感财富的作用、家族企业的异质性以及家族资本对企业和家族的影响等主题。全球对家族企业研究的兴趣激增，造成了一个知识真空，需要教育工作者、学者和实践者分享他们的集体智慧，以推动这一领域的发展。具体来说，我们希望鼓励家族企业从业者写下他们的经验，与研究人员和学者合作，系统地研究咨询，并通过对EJFB的贡献分享他们的工作。这种合作将使家族企业领域进一步了解描述性著作中所捕获的家族企业的复杂性和活力的“什么”，并探索当理论发展到为实践提供信息时出现的“如何，何时和为什么”。所以，家族企业研究万岁!本期编辑M.

The papers presented in this issue provide an ideal opportunity to present how the field has evolved in recent years, but also to reflect on contemporary challenges in the broad domain of family business. \u0000When the journal was launched in 2011, family business research attracted widespread attention from a growing audience due to the relevance of the topic for scholars and practitioners. Family business practitioners (lawyers, accountants, business consultants, family office directors, family philanthropy managers, financial services advisors, management consultants, family therapists and psychologists among others) were key elements in the dawn of the family business (Sharma, Chrisman, & Gersick, 2012). Providing assistance to both family business operators and advisors in understanding family firms was indeed one of the many reasons for the creation of Family Business Review (Lansberg, Perrow, & Rogolsky, 1988) and later for the creation of the Journal of Family Business Strategy (Astrachan & Pieper, 2010). \u0000The family firm field is fortunate that many of those who have brought this field forward have focused on ensuring that the field had a good theoretical foundation that facilitated research and allowed the field to progress (Vought, Baker, & Smith, 2008). But it is also true that following the strong tradition of theory-building and testing expected in high-quality business journals (Sharma et al., 2012) has led the practice orientation of the family firm field to change over time (Reay, Pearson, & Dyer, 2013, p.209). The field became mostly research-oriented, relying heavily on quantitative empirical research. We believe that these studies should be complemented by other research approaches that allow for capturing the specific complexity and dynamics unique to family firms (Nordqvist Hall & Melin, 2009). The literature shows diverse examples of how collaboration between professionals and researchers (e.g., Davis et al., 2013) is a successful way to promote more research (Reay et al., 2013, pp. 210). \u0000In a business world that is increasingly cognisant of the critical role of evidence-based management, family firm practitioners need to be connected to research while having the potential to serve as a mechanism for transferring research knowledge to implementable practices (Reay et al., 2013). ‘Practitioners can identify the actions and access sources. Researchers must search for the meaning of those actions, their interlinkages, and what the act represents to develop theoretical propositions’ (Strike, 2012, pp. 168). Similarly, more practice-oriented research is also necessary to aid practitioners in","PeriodicalId":100498,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Family Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80539613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family firms are complex and dynamic entities that are rich with peculiar, idiosyncratic features. The objective of this paper is to provide guidance to help those involved in family businesses, businesspersons, and family members to pursue the continuity of the family firm over time. Based on the author’s experience with entrepreneurs who built successful businesses, this paper identifies four elements that are critical to achieve transgenerational continuity in family firms, namely: coexistence, unity, professionalism, and prudence. The analysis of each element provides suggestions and key considerations for both scholars and practitioners in the family business field.
