“…Upper echelons theory argues that key strategic choices, such as internationalization, are partially predicted by the management’s background and characteristics ( Hambrick & Mason, 1984 ). We found that this theory was employed to study the effects on internationalization of CEO generational membership ( Chen, Liu, Ni, & Wu, 2015 ), family involvement in the board (e.g. Sciascia, Mazzola, Astrachan, & Pieper, 2013 ), and the top management team ( Alayo, Maseda, Iturralde, & Arzubiaga, 2019 ).…”

Despite the proliferation in research efforts, family firm (FF) internationalization scholarship suffers from fragmentation, theoretical limitations, and empirical indeterminacy, leaving important facets unexplored. This article’s purpose is to unpack how this body of research has evolved over time and interfaces international business (IB) theory. We conduct a systematic literature review of relevant theoretical and empirical studies covering the last 30 years of research and comprising 134 articles. Our study contributes to this corpus of knowledge by identifying and discussing four evolutionary waves of FF internationalization research. We further advance an integrative framework that offers a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art as well as promising avenues for future research at the intersection of IB and FFs.

“…Individual‐level attributes include personal attitude s that foster entrepreneurship in family firms (for a full list see: Mitchell et al ). Among the many attributes, the sense of responsibility for entrepreneurial actions (Salvato, Chirico, and Sharma ), the CEO's strategic intent perspective (Chen et al ), the extent of paradoxical thinking and tensions (Ingram et al ), and managerial education and experience (Dehlen et al ; Raymond, Cadieux, and St‐Pierre ) appear especially important.…”

“…Only one of the empirical papers focused on this (Allison, McKenny, and Short ). International entrepreneurship , or the combination of innovative, proactive, and risk‐seeking behavior that crosses national borders (McDougall and Oviatt ) was studied in five pieces of research (Calabrò, Brogi, and Torchia ; Chen et al ; Hernández‐Perlines, Moreno‐García, and Yañez‐Araque ; Sciascia et al ; Sirmon et al ). Portfolio entrepreneurship , the discovery and exploitation of two or more business opportunities (DeTienne and Chirico ) was at the heart of three empirical articles (Akhter, Sieger, and Chirico ; Michael‐Tsabari, Labaki, and Zachary ; Sieger et al ).…”

International audienceThis paper is the first in a JSBM special issue on entrepreneurship in family firms, i.e., the firm-level entrepreneurial activities and attitudes that occur when a family is considerably involved in an established organization. We provide a systematic literature review of 109 articles written on this growing issue, based on a framework that highlights the antecedents, outcomes, and processes of entrepreneurship in family firms. We also offer a brief overview of the contributions of each of the papers in this issue and conclude by outlining a research agenda for future activities in this area of inquiry.Cet article est le premier de ce numéro spécial de JSBM dédié à l’entrepreneuriat dans les entreprises familiales, i.e. les activités et attitudes qui se manifestent quand une famille est fortement impliquée dans une organisation existante. Nous offrons une revue systématique de la littérature des 109 articles publiés sur ce sujet en croissance, basée sur un cadre qui met en exergue les antécédents, processus et résultats de l’entrepreneuriat dans les entreprises familiales. Nous présentons ensuite chacun des papiers de ce numéro spécial et nous concluons avec un agenda de recherche pour ce domaine de recherche

“…Strategic intent is one of the most important factors that enhances the performance of the organization (Mariadoss et al, 2014). It also boosts the position of the organization among their competitors (Chen et al, 2015;Hamel and Prahalad, 2005). In addition, by being intent focused an organization has the elasticity to think beyond their limitations and identify how they can become the winners in their market (Elaydi and Harrison, 2010;Fatehi and Englis, 2012).…”

Purpose Drawing on a number of strategic management theories, the purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between strategic thinking (in other words, systems perspective, focused intent, intelligent opportunism, thinking in time and hypothesis-driven analysis) and organizational performance. It also investigates whether the notion and content of high performance work practices, as identified in developed countries, can be used to amplify the effects of strategic thinking within the banking industry in a developing country. Design/methodology/approach Utilizing cross-sectional data obtained from commercial banks in Jordan, this paper applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the banking sector in a developing country. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Findings According to the results, focused intent, intelligent opportunism, thinking in time and hypothesis-driven analysis have positive impacts on organizational performance, except when considered from the systems perspective. Consequently, high performance work practices were found to only moderate the relationship between focused intent, intelligent opportunism, thinking in time and organizational performance. Originality/value The authors examined the impact of strategic thinking on the organizational performance through the moderation role of high performance work practices. The results of this paper extend the existing literature by providing evidence from Jordan, a developing country outside of the western world.
