De Massis, A., Frattini, F., Majocchi, A. and Piscitello, L. (2018) Family firms in the global economy: toward a deeper understanding of internationalisation determinants, processes and outcomes. Global Strategy Journal, 8 (1). pp. 3-21. ISSN 2042-5805 doi: 10.1002/gsj.1199

Abstract/Summary

Research on the internationalization of family firms has flourished in recent years, yet the mechanisms through which family involvement shapes the determinants, processes, and outcomes of internationalization remain little understood and largely undertheorized. We contribute to research at the intersection of international business and family business by examining the roles of different sources of family firm heterogeneity and the context in shaping the determinants, processes, and outcomes of business internationalization. Drawing on this analysis, we summarize the articles published in this special issue and set out an agenda for further research aimed at advancing a more fine-grained and contextualized understanding of internationalization in family firms.
