Multinational Business Review
Special Issue on Family Firms in Global Economy
Deadline: April 16, 2007

The focus of this special issue of Multinational Business Review is on
the topic of Family Firms in Global Economy. Original scholarly papers
that study the relationship between internationalization of business
activities and the management of family firms and practitioner papers
that offer managerial insights to this topic are welcome. Family firms
are broadly defined as business organizations owned, managed, or
controlled by one or multiple families. We encourage research on the
internationalization of functional activities, human capital, strategic
alliances, complementors, and corporate governance practices in family
firms to submit to this special issue. We are particularly interested in
papers that highlight the impact of family value, culture, experiences,
power, and the level of commitment on the choices and performances of
internationalization activities. This special issue is also interested
in studies on the impact of internationalized domestic business
environment on family firms. Finally, MBR welcomes papers on both
entrepreneurial and established family firms, in so far as they deal
with the theme of the special issue.
