We learn how to sustain family enterprises, but also how all organizations may succeed through entrepreneurial behavior. Family firms have much to tell us about the cultures, values and practices of successful businesses in the 21st century. This book has long been needed.' - Frank Hoy, Director, Collaborative for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA 'Overall this insightful edited collection invites readers to take a multidisciplinary view at family entrepreneurship by presenting relevant issues from a theoretical and a practical point of view, benefiting scholars and practitioners alike.' - Mariana Estrada-Robles, Sheffield University Management School, University of Sheffield, UK 'Some of the most interesting insights in this book involve the new analytical levels introduced, especially those related to the family, individuals, and the context. Altogether, the book undoubtedly takes a significant step toward more comprehensive research on family entrepreneurship, laying foundations for a range of research settings on this topic. I would highly recommend this book to academics... The book will be extremely useful for both PhD students and scholars at a later stage in their career, if they are planning to study family firms from a more entrepreneurial perspective.' - Tanja Leppaaho, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland.
