Family firms and corporate spatial responsibilities in Germany: Implication for urban and regional planning and management

EconStor Open Access Articles and Book Chapters, 2021, 237-255

Abstract: By connecting the two evolving discourses on family firms in spatial contexts and corporate spatial responsibilities, this chapter introduces a unique perspective on family firm-driven urban and regional engagement. This chapter summarizes selected existing case studies of family firm-driven urban and regional engagement from literature and asks how and to what extent family firms implement corporate spatial initiatives. In other words, whether family firms are spatially responsible.
