“…Although succession is also examined in relation to entrepreneurial legacy , the primary context where entrepreneurial legacy is built, interpreted, and used is transgenerational entrepreneurship (Calabrò et al, 2023; Zellweger et al, 2012). Living, learning, and working together in an intergenerational space enable the next generation to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial skills, which might be used in the family business and beyond (Radu-Lefebvre et al, 2021).…”

This article maps and integrates research on legacy in family business using a sample of 140 articles. After describing the process of arriving at a corpus of legacy articles, we propose a systematic literature review that summarizes current literature based on five overarching questions: (a) What is legacy? (b) Who sends and receives legacy? (c) Why is legacy sent and accepted/rejected? (d) How is legacy sent and received? and (e) In which contexts? Based on this review, we identify gaps in the literature and suggest theoretical perspectives and research questions to guide future research on legacy in family business.

“…Similarly, considering recent studies in family firms' entrepreneurship, Minola et al (2021) advance the theoretical ground for corporate entrepreneurship in family firms by employing different domains such as ontology, epiphany, and heterogeneity. Calabrò et al (2022) concluded that familiness human, social, and financial capital resources, along with the degree of entrepreneurial orientation significantly influence transgenerational entrepreneurship and family business performance. Moreno-Menéndez et al (2022) checked entrepreneurial activities pre-and post-COVID, revealing that entrepreneurship has seen a boost following COVID, even though economic decline and organizational change significantly affect entrepreneurial actions in family business.…”

Entrepreneurship in family firms: an updated bibliometric overview

2023

Research on entrepreneurship in family firms has grown exponentially over the past two decades. Due to the various theoretical perspectives and contexts found here however, this body of research remains fragmented, with a unified understanding of the current state of knowledge and the opportunities for future research in the field continuing to lack. In this study, we address this gap by conducting an updated bibliometric analysis of the research on entrepreneurship in family firms. Here we integrate two different bibliometric methods to provide a more comprehensive picture of the field, unveiling its intellectual foundations and current research discourses and how these two are related. To do this, we first conduct a co-citation analysis clustering the intellectual foundations of the research on entrepreneurship in family firms. Second, a bibliographic coupling of recent publications from 2010 to 2021 provides a transparent structure of current research discourses. Third, analyzing which intellectual foundations are primarily cited in each current research stream unveils the dominant theoretical paradigms in the current state of research. Analyzing 570 published studies, we identified four intellectual foundations of entrepreneurship in family firms: socioemotional wealth (SEW), entrepreneurial orientation, family-embedded resources, and agency theory. The current research can be clustered into seven main discourses: entrepreneurial motivation, gender and success, entrepreneurial orientation, individual and firm-level characteristics, the family embedded network, family firm internationalization, and family heterogeneity. An integrative network diagram provides an overview of the research field’s development while also identifying the gaps to be addressed by future research.

“…Previous studies only addressed organizational governance, while the roles of business families in developing transgenerational orientation received less attention. Thus, in order to overcome this gap, it is necessary to apply social identity theory to examine how business family identity can strengthen transgenerational business orientation (Waldkirch, 2015;Calabrò, Torchia, Kallmuenzer, Yezza, & Cheng, 2023).…”

“…Social identity theory is expected to bridge tensions due to power struggles, differences in goals, injustice, greed, and egoism through participation in business and aligning family beliefs and values related to business continuity (Monticelli, Bernardon, Trez, & dos Santos Sabrito, 2019;Calabrò et al, 2023). Succession, ownership and control, governance, regeneration, and family and business values are among the frequently occurring conflicts in business families; therefore, these conflicts are unproductive and destructive, frequently referred to as the dark side of family businesses (Baumol, 1990;Montiel Mendez & Soto Maciel, 2021).…”

“…Current literature still emphasizes the importance of governance at the discussion and case study level (Gersick & Feliu 2014). Academics have called for more active family integration in the exploration of family businesses (Mustakallio, 2002;Calabrò et al, 2023). However, research on family integration, including copreneurship, transgeneration, and the dark side of family businesses, and its effects on conflicts and business continuity, remain scarce, and this is a gap in the family business literature (Suess-Reyes, 2017; Franco & Piceti, 2020;Galloway et al, 2022).…”

The present study aimed to examine the role of copreneurship, transgeneration, and the dark side with conflicts in and continuity of family-managed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or family businesses. Data was derived from 178 owners of batik SMEs, consisting of both those managed by spouses and those inherited. Data analysis was done using SEM-AMOS.22 and showed that (1) copreneurship positively related to family business conflicts; (2) transgeneration positively related to business management conflicts; (3) member family’s dark side positively related to conflicts; and (4) conflicts occurred due to tenuous family social identity (decreased copreneurship bond, transgenerational process failure and dark side) positively related to family business resilience. The present study also included control variables for business size and generational order in order to determine the extent and resilience of business continuity.
