To take stock of the literature on identity in family firms (IFF), we examine 122 journal articles published between 2006 and 2020. We then develop a thematic map to help scholars understand the structure of IFF studies and the direction that IFF research is taking. Providing a consistent vocabulary and categorization, the thematic map serves to strengthen the IFF conceptualization and locates potential ambiguities and fragmentation. Thereafter, we analyze the antecedents, outcomes, and contingencies of the different themes identified. Drawing on this foundation, we identify gaps and suggest new directions and stimuli for future research.

Drawing on 62 interviews with 23 family businesses in Cyprus concerning the 2013–2018 (Eurozone) debt crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic, this study offers new knowledge on why and how family social capital reconfigures during external crises to support survivability. The findings reveal new psychological and situational mechanisms motivating structural and relational changes in family social capital during crises. However, we find nuances and complexities acting on the motives and content of these changes, attuned to the type of external crisis that the family business faces. We contribute a context-sensitive theory of family social capital’s reconfiguration during external crises.

Despite significant discussion surrounding the benefits of family social capital in family business research, precisely how it is built and maintained by enterprise families remains unclear. To explore how and when family governance practices can avoid the decay of enterprise family social capital, we examine the mediating role of family identity and the significance of both generational and business ownership. Testing of our moderated mediation framework using data from 175 enterprise families globally suggests that family governance can stimulate family social capital by strengthening family identity. We also find a negative moderating role for business ownership in this indirect relationship.

Although family businesses and social enterprises are typically examined as distinct organizational forms, research in both domains recognizes the significant influence of family on organizational goals. Our cross-disciplinary review of 104 articles, published in 50 journals between 1996 and 2020, capitalizes on this family connection and synthesizes the varied ways family influence has been examined in extant literature. Our review considers the role of the family in shaping social missions and directing social value while also emphasizing the importance of community stakeholders. Our findings provide a foundation for understanding the dynamic role of family influence across domains and enhancing interdisciplinary learning.

A critical aspect for the continuity of family businesses (FB) is the existence of willing successors. In this article, we use the imprinting theory to ground an explanation of how the family imprinting process shapes siblings’ willingness to become a successor in the FB. We stylize three family imprinting types based mainly on different family motivations: the FB-centric, the entrepreneurship-centric, and the free-will-centric. The uniqueness of this approach is that it offers an imprinting-based process model capable of explaining the origins of homogeneity and heterogeneity in succession willingness at both the inter- and the intra-family levels.

Despite the growing interest in resilience in the family business context, little attention has been devoted to understanding the influence of religion on the way business families respond to adverse environments. We use a unique ethnography of a Middle Eastern faith-led family firm to investigate how religiosity influences the way the business family resists and rebounds from environmental shocks. We identify religious role expectations as a pivotal driver of particularistic responses in family firms to advance a religious-based foundation for business family resilience.

This study examines the effects of international expansion on domestic growth in family firms (FFs) versus non-FFs. Integrating international business research into socioemotional wealth (SEW) theory, we argue that FFs seek to compensate for SEW losses (as implied by foreign direct investments) with SEW gains (associated with domestic growth). We claim that FFs are less prone to substitute home businesses with foreign activities and more likely to move back resources to foster domestic growth. Geographical diversification and modes of entry foster FFs’ domestic growth to an even greater extent. A test conducted on Italian firms supports these hypothesized effects.

We are honored to present the fourth Review Issue of Family Business Review (FBR). In 2016, FBR Editors Jeremy C. Short, Pramodita Sharma, Thomas Lumpkin, and Allison W. Pearson launched a series of special issues in FBR to track and understand the fast evolution of family business research produced since the early 1970s. With more than 2,000 family business articles published in the 1990s (Sharma, 2015), and more than 4,000 articles published between 2010 and 2014, they anticipated that the 2020s “would likely yield over 8,000 new peer-reviewed journal articles on family business” (Short et al., 2016, p. 11). Based on the Scopus database at the time we write this editorial (January 2022), we now found 20,041 document results containing the keyword “family business.” Clearly, as it stands, scholarly production on the subject has further grown, accelerating even beyond those ambitious expectations made just 5 years ago. This fast-growing trend raised the need to organize an increasingly diversified body of knowledge and shape the production of new knowledge in a way that adds and extends on what has been done before, to ultimately favor knowledge accumulation. Looking back to the previous FBR Review Issues offers us a privileged opportunity to reflect on the collective contribution that this stream of work has generated so far. Indeed, by screening and comparing the past FBR Review Issues, we found a wealth of interesting insights that we believe can yield precious directions for the future. In the editorial article of the inaugural FBR Special Issue, the Editors found indications that research on “family business is on the threshold of its next era” (Short et al., 2016, p. 12). The review articles contained in that issue outlined several promising directions to further and enrich family business scholarship, and the Editors further pointed to the promise of further reviews that look, for example, into specific methods and theories used in family business research, as well as cross-disciplinary approaches that bridge family business research with other fields such as family sciences, history, sociology, religious studies, anthropology, and psychology. Articles in this first FBR Review Issue elaborate on topics such as succession, philanthropy, governance from an agencyand steward-based perspective, exploration and exploitation, entrepreneurship, and empirical trends in family firm research. In the second FBR Review Issue, Editors Daniel T. Holt, Allison W. Pearson, Tyge Payne, and Pramodita Sharma continued to build on this legacy (Holt et al., 2018), placing their attention to the opportunities for cross-pollination between family business scholarship and the broadly diversified domains of management research. In a sense, this Editorial article captures the growing interest of family business researchers to move from the sidelines to a more central and foundational position in mainstream management research, offering several promising ways to ful
我们很荣幸为您呈现《家族企业评论》第四期评论。2016年,FBR编辑Jeremy C.Short、Pramodita Sharma、Thomas Lumpkin和Allison W.Pearson在FBR上推出了一系列特刊,以跟踪和了解自20世纪70年代初以来家族企业研究的快速发展。20世纪90年代发表了2000多篇家族企业文章(Sharma,2015),2010年至2014年间发表了4000多篇文章,他们预计20世纪20年代“可能会产生8000多篇关于家族企业的新的同行评审期刊文章”(Short等人,2016,第11页)。根据我们撰写这篇社论时(2022年1月)的Scopus数据库,我们现在发现了20041份包含关键词“家族企业”的文献结果。很明显,就目前情况来看,该主题的学术成果进一步增长,甚至超过了5年前的宏伟预期。这一快速增长的趋势提出了组织日益多样化的知识体系的必要性,并以一种在以前所做的基础上增加和扩展的方式来塑造新知识的生产,以最终有利于知识积累。回顾之前的FBR审查问题,我们有机会反思到目前为止这一工作流所产生的集体贡献。事实上,通过筛选和比较过去的FBR审查问题,我们发现了大量有趣的见解,我们相信这些见解可以为未来带来宝贵的方向。在《FBR》创刊特刊的社论中,编辑们发现有迹象表明,对“家族企业正处于下一个时代的门槛”的研究(Short等人,2016,第12页)。该期的评论文章概述了进一步丰富家族企业学术的几个有希望的方向,编辑们进一步指出了进一步评论的前景,例如,研究家族企业研究中使用的具体方法和理论,以及将家族企业研究与其他领域(如家庭科学、历史、社会学、宗教研究、人类学和心理学)联系起来的跨学科方法。第一期FBR评论中的文章详细阐述了继承、慈善事业、从机构和管家的角度进行治理、探索和利用、创业以及家族企业研究的经验趋势等主题。在第二期《FBR评论》中,编辑Daniel T.Holt、Allison W.Pearson、Tyge Payne和Pramodita Sharma继续在这一遗产的基础上发展(Holt et al.,2018),将他们的注意力放在家族企业学术和广泛多样化的管理研究领域之间的交叉授粉机会上。从某种意义上说,这篇社论文章抓住了家族企业研究人员日益增长的兴趣,他们希望在主流管理研究中从副业转向更核心、更基础的地位,为实现这一抱负提供了几种有希望的方法。在本期中,回顾了(家族企业)关于家族企业中非家族成员、咨询、制度背景和社会情感财富的文献。最后,在第三期FBR评论中,编辑Peter Jaskiewicz、Donald O.Neubaum、Alfredo De Massis和Daniel T.Holt开始描绘家族企业研究的“成年”阶段(Jaskiewich等人,2020)。他们发现了证据,证明该领域已经成熟,获得了合法性,例如越来越多地采用其他学科产生的主流理论,以及建立家族企业的新“本土”理论,为更广泛的管理辩论提供信息。有趣的是,研究重点从家族企业的角度转移了(如1083075 FBRXXX10.1177/08944865221083075《家族企业评论》Brigham et al.research-article2022

The concept of generations has become increasingly important in the social science fields to explain diverse phenomena affecting organizations. This is especially true in the family business field where generations are considered a constitutive element. Nevertheless, there is still a limited understanding of generations and the implications of their involvement in family business. We review prior studies on generations by considering different social science fields, which we analyze according to a novel theoretical framework. Building on this framework, and placing particular emphasis on family firms, we identify important knowledge gaps that serve as a springboard for future research.

This article critically reviews and meta-analyzes the environmental performance of family firms. Using a sample of 40,910 firms covering a 12-year period, we conclude that the average effect of family involvement on environmental performance is negative, albeit small. This negative effect is more pronounced in primary studies that measure environmental performance via the environmental operational practices adopted and in those that define family business using the family ownership and management criteria. Our findings suggest that from an agency perspective, and compared with nonfamily firms, the negative view of the environmental performance of family firms prevails over the positive view.
