This book addresses the increasing prominence of family-owned
business groups and their potential to influence growth and
development in the global economy. Family businesses are not
necessarily converging towards unitary models of corporate
governance or organizational designs, but remain heterogeneous in
a global economy. Empirical evidence on the developmental effects
of family-owned business groups is fragmented and inconclusive:
are there tangible differences between family-owned business
groups in emerging economies and developed countries? Are there
important variations across and between industries? How have
geopolitical circumstances shaped their activities? In this book,
the author seeks alternative, pluralistic, and cross-disciplinary
approaches through economic, management, and organizational
perspectives.
