Family businesses

Chapter 4.15 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, 2025, pp 419-422 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) perspective directs attention to the actors involved in ongoing strategic activities, who they are and how, when, and where they are engaged in these activities. This has led to important developments in family business research regarding where strategizing takes place (family versus business arenas), what actors (internal or external to the business and/or family) are present on different strategic arenas and how the multiple goals of business families relate to strategic outcomes. Since the strategizing activities take place in both the business site and the family site, it encourages scholars to study what business families do at different formal and informal arenas in these two sites. Research on strategizing in family businesses clearly meets the concern of the SAP perspective to pay more attention to the human and social elements of strategy work.
