Transgenerational entrepreneurship, as a discipline, examines the
processes, resources and capabilities that allow family enterprises
to create social and economic value over time in order to succeed
beyond the first generation of business owners. While tangible
resources such as financial and physical capital are certainly
important factors in the long-term success of a family-run
business, this book focuses specifically on the role of intangible
resources and capabilities, which are less easily quantifiable but
equally vital.Drawing insights from in-depth longitudinal studies
of twenty-six family firms in twelve countries, the contributors
discuss the critical role of intangible assets such as values,
virtues, tacit knowledge and learning, professionalization,
internal and external social networks, and reputation. Each chapter
includes both a case study that serves as a practical illustration
of a particular topic as well as a discussion of the theoretical
perspectives and broader implications. Featuring both contributors
and case studies from across the world, this volume provides a
truly global approach to the study of transgenerational
entrepreneurship. Professors and students of business and
management, entrepreneurship and family business studies will find
this book a fascinating addition to their libraries, as will family
business owners, consultants and researchers. Contributors: K. Au,
