‘Types’ of private family firms: an exploratory conceptual and empirical analysis

All in the Family? An Exploratory Study of Family Member Advisors and Firm Performance

“…We also add to research on family firm heterogeneity (Eddleston et al, 2013;Westhead & Howorth, 2007) by showing that performance effects differ based on the generation owning the business. Lastly, we establish a first empirical basis for research on family member advisors, an important yet under-researched phenomenon (Strike, 2012).…”

Empreendedorismo Em Empresas Familiares: A Pesquisa Atual E Os Desafios Futuros

“…Diversos estudos foram elaborados para identificar as características desse campo de estudos, envolvendo aspectos como os padrões da pesquisa e os temas abordados (Sharma, 2004;Debicki, Matherne, Kellermanns, & Chrisman, 2009;Benavides-Velasco, Quintana-Garcia, & Guzmán-Parra, 2013;Smyrnios, Poutziouris, & Goel, 2013), a evolução do campo ao longo do tempo (Bird, Welsch, Astrachan, & Pistrui, 2002) e suas direções futuras (Litz, Pearson, & Litchfield, 2012;Sharma, Chrisman, & Gersick, 2012), os aspectos conceituais e de definição da expressão empresa familiar (Chua, Chrisman, & Sharma, 1999;Westhead & Howorth, 2007;Litz, 2008), a estrutura intelectual do campo (Casillas & Acedo, 2007;Chrisman, Kellermanns, Chan, & Liano, 2010), os aspectos institucionais (Hoy & Sharma, 2006;Stewart & Miner, 2011) e as escolhas metodológicas e epistemológicas (Winter, Fitzgerald, Heck, Haynes, & Danes, 1998;Zahra & Sharma, 2004;Moores, 2009).
