Familienunternehmen und KMU Edited by A. Hack, Berne A. Calabrò, Witten/Herdecke H. Frank, Vienna F. W. Kellermanns, Charlotte, Vallendar T. Zellweger, St. Gallen
Both Family Firms and Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME) feature a number of distinct behaviors and characteristics which could provide them with a competitive advantage in the market but could also lead to certain risks. The sci entific series at hand presents research which provides an empirical and theoretical contribution to the investigation on these specific characteristics and their impact on business practice. The overall aim of this series is to advance the development of theory in the areas of family firm and SME management.
