This is one of the first books of its kind to highlight family
firms in a Latin American context, helping students to understand
the distinctive nature and challenges of Latin American family
businesses and how these issues compare to family businesses around
the world. Building on their experience in teaching, research,
speaking, and consulting on the subject of family firms in Latin
America, the editors explain the need to implement and adapt
traditional frameworks in the changing Latin American reality. Each
section provides background on the most important topics in the
management of family firms, including strategy, entrepreneurship,
and performance, followed by illustrative cases and a discussion of
how this knowledge is similar to or different from other parts of
the world. The book's clear writing and in-depth approach will
appeal to undergraduate and graduate students of international
business, business in Latin America, and family business.

Family business groups (FBGs) are ubiquitous, influential, and play
a major role in national economies. While much of the current
research around this topic has so far focused on emerging
economies, more knowledge is needed on family business groups in
developed economies; specifically, how they innovate, strategize,
govern, and grow. Offering a comprehensive and global perspective
on family business groups, this Handbook comprises international
contributions from leading experts. Split into five sections, it
covers strategy and business transformation; innovation strategies;
management and governance; and new avenues for research on FBGs
including the issues of sustainability and cultural alignment. An
important resource for students and researchers of family business,
strategy and management, this Handbook signals the emergence of the
family business group phenomenon and solidifies research in this
evolving area of study.
This edited collection analyses the unexplored concept of the
family business group, evaluating the opportunities and advantages
that it creates for entrepreneurs. Raising a number of important
questions, the authors construct a new research agenda for the
complex topic of the family business group, which will ultimately
assess its contribution towards the economy and society in general.
The chapters provide a core understanding of the phenomenon and
cover its formation, nature and complexities, as well as offering a
holistic perspective and exploring factors such as scale, size and
regional contexts. A useful tool for those researching small
businesses, organisation, and business strategy, this book
highlights the key advantages of family business group structures
in both developed and developing countries, and local and national
contexts.
