Description: Family Firms and Institutional ContextsBusiness Models, Innovation and Competitive Advantage Author(s): Giorgia M D'Allura, Andrea Colli, Sanjay Goel Format: Hardback Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd, United Kingdom Imprint: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd ISBN-13: 9781788970174, 978-1788970174 Synopsis Family firms represent over 90 per cent of businesses globally, and play a significant role in the economies of many nations. This innovative book takes an interdisciplinary, cross-national approach to the study of family firms as institutions as well as the relationship between family firms and external institutions. In doing so, it demonstrates the impact of these interactions both on the firms and institutions themselves and on the wider economic context. Featuring in-depth analysis of original research, chapters take both theoretical and empirical approaches to explore the family firm as an organization, several key case studies. At a micro level, the social and cultural unit of the family and its behaviour is investigated, and at a macro level, external institutional contexts are examined to explain and theorise firms' behaviours and strategies, covering areas such as innovation, competitiveness and reputation. The book provides important conceptual insights, as well as up-to-date empirical research and ideas for future research agendas. Family Firms and Institutional Contexts will be a critical read for scholars and doctoral students in business and management, particularly those with an interest in family firms. Policymakers and practitioners in these areas will also find its insights of practical relevance.
