Hello – could you kindly post the following call for papers? Thank you!
Family businesses encompass a broad range of actors, ranging from Germany's Mittlestand to America's family farm; from Europe's old money business families to the new-money elites of Shanghai and Silicon Valley; from the House of Tata to the House of Saud. What each of these diverse actors have in common is the role of kinship ties in shaping financial and management decisions. Historically, large family businesses have relied on trusted advisors and family offices to manage family wealth and succession issues.
The professions encompass law, accountancy, consultancies, investment banks, executive search firms, trustee firms and family offices, amongst others. In recent decades they have grown to be one
of the most important and influential segments of the global economy.
In this Journal of Professions and Organization special issue we are interested in shedding light and developing theory around the growing engagement between family businesses, the professions and PSFs. The goal is to understand how the interaction of these key drivers of global growth, each with their own distinct forms of organizing and organization, influence one another and the process of professionalization within the field of family business.
We invite scholarly papers from a wide range of disciplines and academic perspectives. Kindly see the call for papers at the following link for further information:
