Abstract

Purpose The institutional context in which family firms operate influences their behaviour and performance, yet literature reviews seldom analyse family firms on a regional basis. To fill this gap, this review aims to present research on family entrepreneurship in the transition economies of the Visegrád countries (V4). In this particular group of European economies, the current formal institutions have largely evolved along Western European lines. However, the transformation of informal institutions appears to be still in its infancy. Design/methodology/approach In order to identify the most representative authors, the methodologies used, the main research topics and to establish a future research agenda, the authors selected, through a systematic process, 112 papers from the Web of Science up to the year 2022. The authors performed a bibliographic analysis using clustering algorithms, complemented by a traditional literature review. Findings The performance of family firms in transition economies has been the subject of very little research. The results allowed the authors to identify four main areas of research: governance, innovation, sustainability, competitive advantage and considering the influence of the region's characteristics on family business behaviour. Originality/value Studies from transition economies can contribute to a broader understanding of family firms in terms of the impact of the institutional environment (especially the influence of sociological changes and specific historical experiences of family members) on their long-term planning, socioemotional wealth (SEW) protection and ethics. In light of recent events, research from the region may also contribute to the understanding of how and to what extent “familiness” influences crisis management or socially responsible behaviour in family firms.
Visegrád国家家族企业研究现状
家族企业运作的制度背景影响其行为和绩效,但文献综述很少在区域基础上分析家族企业。为了填补这一空白,本综述旨在介绍Visegrád国家(V4)转型经济中的家庭创业研究。在这个特殊的欧洲经济体群体中,目前的正式制度在很大程度上是沿着西欧的路线发展的。然而,非正式机构的转变似乎仍处于初级阶段。为了确定最具代表性的作者、使用的方法、主要研究课题和建立未来的研究议程,作者通过系统的过程从Web of Science中选择了截至2022年的112篇论文。作者使用聚类算法进行了书目分析,并辅以传统的文献综述。家族企业在转型经济中的表现一直是很少研究的主题。研究结果使作者确定了四个主要研究领域:治理、创新、可持续性、竞争优势,以及考虑地区特征对家族企业行为的影响。来自转型经济体的独创性/价值研究有助于更广泛地了解制度环境(特别是社会学变化和家族成员特定历史经历的影响)对家族企业的长期规划、社会情感财富(SEW)保护和伦理的影响。鉴于最近发生的事件,本区域的研究也可能有助于理解"家族性"如何以及在多大程度上影响家族企业的危机管理或对社会负责的行为。
