Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Guest editors of Journalof Family Business Strategy, I would like to cordially invite you to consider participating in the special issue entitled "Family Business and Regional Development".
The aim of this special issue is to examine the role of family firms in regional economic environments and to enhance our understanding of the ways family firms may (or may not) contribute to regional economic growth and development.
This special issue will consider qualitative and quantitative empirical studies, case studies, and more theoretical and conceptual research contributions. The cross-disciplinary nature of current research on family firms suggests that a new understanding of the role family firms play in regional economic development will likely come from a melding of theory and research across fields like regional economics, regional studies, entrepreneurship, geography, business, management, political science, psychology, and sociology.
Please note that the submission deadline is September 15th, 2014. More information and instructions for submission can be found here: Call for Papers. For questions regarding submissions or the content of this Special Issue, authors are welcome to write to one of the guest editors: Rodrigo Basco (bascorodrigo@gmail.com), Joern Block (block@uni-trier.de), or Karl Wennberg (karl.wennberg@hhs.se). For general questions or inquiries about JFBS, please contact Torsten Pieper, the Assistant Editor, (tpieper@kennesaw.edu).
All the best
Rodrigo Basco, Ph.D.
