Exploring the intersection of e-commerce and context in family business in China: the effects on organisational form and identity
2019
This chapter melds these interests of understanding how the context of e-Commerce and family business affects organisational form and subsequently organisational identity by integrating a narrative about the development of family business and e-Commerce in China with an exploratory analysis of two Chinese family businesses. Institutional theory informs this discussion (Scott, 2008: Suddaby, Elsbach, Greenwood, Meyer and Zilber, 2010). After describing why businesses adopt e-Commerce, and illustrating the contextual conditions in China that foster the development of private enterprises such as family businesses, and the adoption of e-Commerce, the chapter subsequently explores the question “…

Conflict Management and Negotiation in Family Business Succession: Critical Literature Review and research agenda
2017
This paper intends to stimulate a serious debate on the topic of conflict in family businesses and the theory of negotiation as a tool to resolve these conflicts. The methodology is based on the collection and systematization of the main literature on these topics. The study results show that, despite the literature on conflict management is highly developed as well as literature on family business, scholars and researchers have not yet deepened several areas of conflict management in family businesses, so the two fields of literature are yet not well integrated. The paper then proposes a research agenda identifying the issues and research gaps that should be explored by researchers in orde…

The Internationalization of Family SMEs: A Literature Review and Research Agenda
2022
The chapter intends to stimulate a debate on the internationalization processes of small and medium-sized family businesses (family SMEs), which is a specific topic that business literature has only recently deepened. Several research works are dealing with internationalization strategies, but only a few studies focus on SMEs’ internationalization. The chapter aims to discuss the state of the art of the field, which seems to be increasingly explored by academics. Our focus was to identify the factors which can positively or negatively impact SMEs’ internationalization processes. Moreover, we intend to fill the research gap in terms of literature review on the field. The methodology is based…

Using a sample of 111 family firms, we perform a cluster analysis th…

Business succession and intellectual capital management in family firms
2015
Family businesses are institutions in which two seemingly disparate social units (i.e., families and businesses) are highly integrated. This connection extends to succession across generations and while natural, this can be a difficult process. The founder, thanks to his long stay in the family business, has a substantial amount of tacit knowledge related to the firm which can often determine business success. In the succession process it is important to diffuse and manage overall knowledge, or intellectual capital, to the successor. This study attempts to contribute to the literature casting some light on the business succession in a family firm informed by an intellectual capital perspect…
