“…This inclination is particularly evident in family firms operating in small and rural markets, where the economic resilience of the family business is closely intertwined with the stability and prospects of the market (Niehm et al, 2008).

The focus on sustainability-driven innovation reflects the family firms' commitment to enduring success and adaptability, not only for their own prosperity but also for the well-being of the communities they serve.…”

“…These often long-grown networks, including sub-industries, such as transportation, recreation facilities and tour operators, and the involvement of family/-ies in business decision-making, organizational culture and succession in these networks generally need to be better understood (Camilleri and Valeri, 2021). For the ever-prominent succession topic (Strickland and Ratten, 2023), it could particularly be interesting to investigate family inter-succession after the founding generation, that is, successions across second and third generations (happening in many established tourism/hospitality settings worldwide), as there are more potential successors and hence various possible conflicts (Kallmuenzer et al ., 2021).…”
