Abstract: The flourishing nature of family business research is evident not only in the growth of the number of studies published in top-tier journals over the past several decades (Daspit, Madison, Nordqvist, & Sieger, 2024; Rovelli, Ferasso, De Massis, & Kraus, 2022) but also in the number of studies that explore family business research outside Western contexts (e.g., primarily the US). An excellent example of such pioneering research is the literature review by Fang, Singh, Kim, Marler, and Chrisman (2022), published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management. Their paper not only accumulates knowledge about Asian and particularly Chinese family firms (over 30% of articles in Fang et al. (2022) are on Chinese family firms) but also compares the findings to those in Western contexts, inspiring further exploration and theorization.
