    Judging panels' comments: This article is a most interesting study with wide appeal to scholars in strategicmanagement and family business. The panel appreciated the focus on social identity and agency theory driving the research, as well as the author's usage of an impressive sample.

    Honorable Mention:

    Carlo Salvato (Bocconi University, Italy) and Ken Moores (Bond University, Australia) for their guest editorial entitled Research on Accounting in Family Firms: Past Accomplishments and Future Challenges which appeared in the September Special issue of FBR on Accounting in Family Firms.

    Ken Moores <kmoores@bond.edu.au>

    Juding panels' comments:        The panel found this to be a thorough review of an interesting and important area. It presents a clear and well organised coverage of accounting issues and family firms which will be of great value to current and future scholars in the field.
