According to a nascent literature (Backman and Palmberg, 2015), the presence of family businesses influences the institutional context in which they operate. Furthermore, from an institutional perspective, it can be seen that a family business constitutes a privileged vantage point for observation of the relationship between business and institutional context (Aparicio et al., 2017), as two institutions evolve under the reciprocal influence: the family and business. The family is mainly the object of study of sociologists, who investigate the formal and informal conditions that govern the relationships between the members (parents, siblings, relatives) and analyze changes over time in response to the institutional context (marriages, de facto unions, separations). The business is studied by management scholars, who investigate its organizational and strategic dynamics in response to the institutional context (relations with banks, rules and regulations, economic measures). Traditionally, in the literature, study has focused on how the family and the business constitute two complex systems that interact, with a consequent reciprocal conditioning, although they are different in nature, objectives and logic (Astrachan et al., 2002; Lansberg, 1983; Tagiuri and Davis, 1996). The family, through the contribution of human and financial resources, aims to support and assist its members, while the business has as its objective the sale of products or services for the remuneration of production factors (Bertrand and Schoar, 2006). Although the family is driven by emotional logic and the business by economic logic, both share common principles such as continuity, union and creation of value.","PeriodicalId":234267,"journal":{"name":"Family Firms and Institutional Contexts","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115597870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retrace the steps that you would take each day to play outside, visit friends, or simply explore. Perhaps there are many experiences that you dwell on, such as the place where you crashed your bike, the smell of cookies at your neighbor’s house, or the distance you ran when you raced your friends around the block. If you were to write a short story, in order to provide enough depth you would likely need to focus on just one aspect of your childhood experience in that neighborhood. Wilson (1996) remarks that an environment as rich as this has varying dimensions such as constancy and change, simplicity and complexity; you knew your way around in the neighborhood, but there was always more to find. The same is true for case studies in educational research. Case studies are a qualitative research method that focus on one unit of study (Merriam, 1998). This chapter seeks to clearly define case studies, explore their weaknesses and strengths, and discuss when and for what research questions they are most appropriate to use as an educational research method.","PeriodicalId":234267,"journal":{"name":"Family Firms and Institutional Contexts","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122538820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
