Family enterprise governance research is entering its third wave – is your research agenda ready to evolve with it?
Family business governance research has long been explored through siloed disciplinary lenses. The first wave was driven by finance researchers exploring the efficiency of corporate governance in family versus non-family firms; later, strategy, finance, and family business researchers focused on improving the efficiency of family businesses through corporate governance best practices. Although each contributed valuable insights, the result is currently a mixed and disjointed body of knowledge.
Today, a third wave of research is emerging. Academics have started to bridge traditional family business literature with multi-disciplinary modern family business research. Version 3.0 recognizes the need for tailored governance that reflects the unique dynamics and challenges of family firms.
Join us in Copenhagen for our panel symposium, Corporate Governance Research of Family Enterprises 3.0 at the Annual Meeting of the AOM. Leading scholars whose work has shaped our understanding of family business governance will each individually share their perspective before engaging with the other panelists and the audience. Together, we'll explore how to transcend the disciplinary divide and develop a research agenda of vital interdisciplinary research opportunities.
Details below. We look forward to seeing you there!
