Abstract

Over the past decade, a consensus has crystallized recognizing the significance of family firm internationalization in international business (IB) research. This recognition comes with substantial opportunities, yet it also presents challenges, such as the pressing need for a more cohesive integration of the family business and IB domains. In this article, we (re)emphasize the relevance of family firm internationalization for IB research considering three IB grand challenges and two important aspects of internationalization where family firms can particularly contribute. We also propose several theoretical and methodological avenues for future studies to help further increase the understanding of family firm internationalization and of IB theories. Finally, we provide an overview of the core insights from the articles included in the related special issue and develop integrative conclusions about the research.

家族企业与国际业务：打破各自为政的局面，确立严谨的前进方向

在过去的十年中，人们已经达成共识，认识到家族企业国际化在国际商务（IB）研究中的重要意义。这种认识带来了巨大的机遇，但也带来了挑战，例如迫切需要将家族企业和国际商业领域更加紧密地结合起来。在本文中，我们（重新）强调了家族企业国际化与国际商业研究的相关性，考虑到了国际商业的三大挑战以及家族企业尤其可以做出贡献的国际化的两个重要方面。我们还为今后的研究提出了几条理论和方法途径，以帮助进一步加深对家族企业国际化和国际企业理论的理解。最后，我们概述了相关特刊中文章的核心观点，并对研究做出了综合结论。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
