this volume positions itself at the intersection of family business studies, international business, and business history through its examination of family-owned multinationals from the 19th
century to the present. The 13 studies presented address how family influenced internationalization pathways and strategies, specifically focusing on the following issues: transaction cost and
agency relations, mode of entry into foreign markets and choice of country, scarcity of resources, role of networks in internationalization, and attitudes and motivations for
internationalization. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
