Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we highlight and review the most frequently cited articles that have influenced family business research between 2006 and 2013 from the five most commonly adopted theoretical perspectives: agency theory, resource-based view, stewardship theory, socioemotional wealth, and institutional theory. Using citation counts from Google Scholar, we identified 21 articles that covered these perspectives. Our review discusses the contributions of these highly cited articles, particularly in terms of understanding family firm heterogeneity. We conclude the chapter by suggesting future research directions using these and other theoretical perspectives.
