Massis (U. of Bergamo, Italy), Sharma (U. of Vermont), Chua (U. of Calgary, Canada, and Zhejiang, U. China), and Chrisman (Mississippi State U., US, and U. of Alberta, Canada) present an
annotated bibliography of 215 major family business research papers published in academic journals between 1996 and 2010, as an update to a previous effort by Sharma, Chrisman, and Chua in
1996. It provides researchers, students, consultants, and practitioners with a reference covering the most cited theoretical/conceptual, empirical, and practical articles of recent years. Three
opening chapters explain the methodology used to analyze the literature and discuss the state of the art and trends in family business research. Organized alphabetically by author, the
annotations include the type of article, strategic management topic classification, keywords, subject of study, research questions, key findings, contributions and research implications, and
implications for practice. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
