Critical Acclaim
‘The continuity of family firms is dependent in part in the ability of business families to continue their entrepreneurial spirit and to promote innovation within the organization. The Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Family Firms provides a really good overview of the many components of innovation and entrepreneurship in family firms. These include theoretical approaches that can enrich our understanding, relevant areas of research, and important methodological approaches. This Handbook can help those who are starting their journey in the field and those that have been part of the field for a long time to better understand entrepreneurship and innovation.’

‘In an increasingly uncertain and volatile environment, many family businesses survive for decades and even centuries. This book offers the main keys to this long-term success, analyzing the role of entrepreneurship and innovation. An essential book to understand the future of the family business in new times.’
