Call for Papers
Special Issue on Family Firms in Global Economy
The focus of this special issue of Multinational Business Review is on the
topic of Family Firms in Global Economy. Original scholarly papers that
study the relationship between internationalization of business activities
and the management of family firms and practitioner papers that offer
managerial insights to this topic are welcome. Family firms are broadly
defined as business organizations owned, managed, or controlled by one or
multiple families. We encourage research on the internationalization of
functional activities, human capital, strategic alliances, complementors,
and corporate governance practices in family firms to submit to this special
issue. We are particularly interested in papers that highlight the impact of
family value, culture, experiences, power, and the level of commitment on
the choices and performances of internationalization activities. This
special issue is also interested in studies on the impact of
internationalized domestic business environment on family firms. Finally,
MBR welcomes papers on both entrepreneurial and established family firms, in
so far as they deal with the theme of the special issue.
