The Journal of Management & Organization (JMO) seeks to publish academically rigorous papers that will advance knowledge on practical and theoretical aspects of management and the links between them. This special issue of JMO aims to contribute to the widening study and understanding of family businesses.
Academics and practitioners are stressing the powerful influence of family in all aspects of business. Approximately two-thirds of private businesses in many countries are considered to be family firms and they make a notable contribution to wealth creation and job generation. High quality conceptual, theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. We are particularly interested in papers that address various aspects of the sustainability and longevity of family businesses. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sustaining entrepreneurship in family business
- Developing sustainable competitive strategies through innovation
- Creating transgenerational wealth in family business
- Building brand value using the family name and family workforce
- Encouraging next generation family members to develop global networks
- Learning from failure in family business
- Challenging the incumbent generation's dominant logic
- Sharing ownership with non-family members
- Ensuring stakeholder confidence during transition
- Establishing the role of family businesses in protecting the natural environment
- Understanding how next generation family members develop entrepreneurial skills
- Facilitating mentor relationships for members of families in business
This initiative is officially endorsed by the International Family Enterprise Research Academy (IFERA), which aims to foster authoritative work from leading researchers around the world. Authors may wish to obtain feedback on papers by submitting to the 7th Annual IFERA Research Conference in Germany on 21-23 June 2007 (see www.ifera.org ). However, presentation at the IFERA conference is not a submission requirement, or guarantee of publication.
Submissions should observe author guidelines at www.jmanorg.com and be forwarded to JMOEditorial@e-contentmanagement.com indicating the special issue title in the covering email. Selection for publication will be based on relevance, clarity, individuality, topicality, and interest to academics and practitioners. All contributions are double-blind reviewed by an independent review panel but contributors may also be asked to review. Referee Guidelines will be provided to assist this process.
