Revisiting the Study of Family Businesses: Methodological Challenges, Dilemmas, and Alternative Approaches
指出家族企业研究在定义、抽样和实证证据方面存在局限，并提出一种替代方法论，可多视角分析家族与企业的性质、内部动态及二者互动。
Family businesses are vital but understudied economic and social units. Previous family business research is limited relative to its definitions, sampling, and resulting empirical evidence. This paper presents an alternative methodological approach to the study of family businesses with the potential for allowing multiperspective and detailed analyses of the nature and internal dynamics of both the family and the business and the interaction between the two.
