Call for papers for a special issue of Corporate Governance: an International Review on
Cross-National Perspectives on Ownership
and Governance in Family Firms.
Ownership and governance in family firms have attracted broad scholarly attention, not just in management, but also in economics, finance, accounting, psychology and sociology. However, many of the critical antecedents, precise mechanisms and key implications of family governance and ownership still remain ambiguous. For the special issue, scholars are encourage to apply a wide variety of rigorous methodological approaches in order to shed further light on several family business research areas. Both theoretical and empirical work will be considered. The deadline for complete manuscript submissions is September 1, 2013.
