Chapter 1 in The Family Business Group Phenomenon, 2019, pp 1-13 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter highlights the phenomenon of family business groups as a research target and presents the vision for the book. The role of family business groups in different economies is a main reason for the need to understand the emergence and development of family business groups. Partly due to the invisibility of the family business group—the current business group—the entrepreneurship and family business literature have largely neglected the topic. So this chapter raises a set of questions as targets for research on the family business group. The remainder of the chapter covers all of the book’s chapters and their perspectives on the phenomenon of the family business group.
