Family Firm Heterogeneity: A Definition, Common Themes, Scholarly Progress, and Directions Forward
定义了家族企业异质性,通过分析781篇文章识别出九个共同主题,回顾了各主题的学术进展,并指出了未来研究方向。
While progress has been made in recent years to understand the differences among family firms, insights remain fragmented due, in part, to an incomplete understanding of heterogeneity and the scope of differences that exist among family firms. Given this, we offer a definition of and review the literature on family firm heterogeneity. A latent semantic analysis of 781 articles from 33 journals identified nine common themes of family firm heterogeneity. For each theme, we review scholarly progress made and highlight differences among family firms. Additionally, we offer directions for advancing the study of family firm heterogeneity.
