A volume in Research in Entrepreneurship and Management Series
Editor John E. Butler, University of Hawaii at Manoa Until
recently, research in family business has been confined to a
sub-group of entrepreneurship scholars, labor economists, and
sociologists. Family business employment is often the only economic
option available to migrants, the first entrepreneurial experience
for young people, and a source of an economy's new business
creation activities. These issues are typically framed in terms of
the generational transfer of wealth, management succession, or the
interplay between the economic system of a family and its
sociopolitical system. The phenomenon is clearly widespread but for
some reason continues to be poorly understood. We believe that
progress on the empirical front has been hampered by a lack of
accepted theoretical frameworks. For example, attempts to employ
agency theory, geographic agglomeration and spill overs, social
networks, sense making, bargaining and other frameworks have been
scattered. In our view, the extant research has not created the
theoretic ballast that can withstand repeated empirical
verification. More fundamentally, researchers are beginning to ask,
'Is family business theoretically distinctive or a convenient
phenomenon for exploiting familiar theories with new data?' We
believe the time is ripe for a focused look at the theoretical
history and prospects of family business research. Review articles
grounded in economics, sociology, psychology and political economy
and that offer multidisciplinary implications are especially
sought. Theory based empirical papers are also welcomed. We believe
that there are exciting opportunities for theory development and so
encourage authors to focus on this in their submissions. In sum,
the focus of this volume is on showcasing and advancing the latest
research in family business.

It was not that long ago that it might have been possible to cover
the topic of venture capital in one paper. Now, it is not possible
to provide comprehensive coverage in even one book. The industry
has flourished, as variations of he initial venture capital funds
have been developed and now operates in most developing and
developed economies. This is clearly reflected in this volume,
which has a strong focus on Europe and Asia. Each of the papers is
a stand alone effort. However, a full reading of the volume
provides a panoramic picture of the global extent of venture
capital, some of its challenges, and the likely direction of future
efforts. Venture capital and the venture capitalist have been shown
to have a positive impact on performance in many cases. This is
clearly the reason why some many emerging economies want to
increase the level of venture capital investment in their country.
This volume presents papers offering perspectives on the theme of
women entrepreneurs. It is part of a series focusing on research in
entrepreneurship and management.

Immunochemistry of Solid-Phase Immunoassay fills a niche in the
field of immunoassay and immunology. Although solid-phase
immunoassay constitutes a major technology in biology and medicine,
there is no comprehensive source devoted to the immunochemical
principles involved. As a result, this book will benefit students,
technicians, and researchers who use this technology, as well as
immunodiagnostic and biotech companies who develop the technology.
The book is not a methods manual; instead, it incorporates the
concepts, data, and opinions of more than 25 investigators working
in this field. Topics discussed include: the chemistry of
solid-phases, the behavior or antibodies and antigens on solid
phases, membrane solid-phases, reaction kinetics, antigen
quantitation, enzyme systems, photophysics, immunochemical
considerations in data analyses, multianalyte assays and occupancy
concepts, antibody quantitation, streptavidin, a review of data
analysis software, and solid-phase peptide immunoassay.
