Furthermore, the benefits of former politicians on the board of family firms in terms of acquisition activity only occur in low-velocity industries.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"223 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49209298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Micelotta","doi":"10.1177/08944865231157491","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08944865231157491","url":null,"abstract":"Families are constituted by shared memories and a common history. Research shows that talk about the past constitutes between 25% and 33% of the dinner conversation around the family table (Beals & Snow, 2002; Blum-Kulka, 1993, 1994; Perlman, 1984). Much of this conversation involves sharing experiences of the recent (i.e., “what did you do today?”) or distant past (i.e., “remember our vacation to Niagara Falls?”). More critical to the family constitution, however, are those conversations in which family members recount events outside the lived experience of any of the individuals at the table. These vicarious memories are the foundational elements of collective memory. Shared vicarious memories define the family as a distinct social entity with coherence and continuity over time and space (Pratt & Fiese, 2004). Family business researchers are only beginning to appreciate the theoretical and empirical value of viewing the family business through the lens of family memory and history. We gain considerable insight into the nature and constitution of family businesses by systematically analyzing what, and how, families remember and forget. The collection of papers that comprise this special issue on History-Informed Family Business Research is premised on this assumption. From these articles, we see a broad range of historical methodologies applied to a diverse array of family businesses. We also see how intractable issues that have troubled family business research over the years achieve a new clarity when viewed through the lens of the past and how it is remembered. The intent of this essay is to elaborate on the value of history-informed family business research and demonstrate how it can address persistently thorny issues in our discipline. We organize the essay into three sections, drawing on the studies in this special issue to illustrate points in each section. In the first section, we demonstrate how adopting a historical perspective can help us address the recurring definitional question, what is a family business? Our answer rests on the recursive relationship between historical memory as a practice and the family as a social entity. Like all social entities, families are a product of, and shaped by, their history. However, as active authors of their history, families have a higher degree of agency over how their history is told. It is the dynamic interaction of family practices of remembering and how remembering shapes the sense of family that defines a family business. Defining family businesses as a process of historical reconstruction rather than as a set of static properties (e.g., Chrisman et al., 2012) offers a different ontological perspective that defines a family business by how its members reconstruct family boundaries in ongoing acts of remembering. We elaborate on this recursive dynamic between the past and the family’s construction of the present and future in the first section. In the second section, we show how history and ","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"4 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41354804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effortful work of remembering together across familial and social relations, spaces, and embodied ways explains how successive generations understand their belongingness to the organization.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"37 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47823064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike most attempts to explain longevity that have focused primarily on the factors within a family business that lead to longevity or the factors outside of an organization’s environment, we adopt a business-history perspective that enables us to show how the interplay between the organization and its environment can help to explain family business longevity. Building on the category literature, we trace the interaction of a small Swedish fourth-generation high-quality furniture manufacturer with its category over a period of more than 120 years. We identify the internal mechanisms driving family business longevity, the external mechanisms driving category development as well as the mechanisms underlying their interaction. Specifically, we provide new insights into how agency exercised by the family business contributes to the shaping of the category they are a member of, thereby nurturing their business longevity.","PeriodicalId":51365,"journal":{"name":"Family Business Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"84 - 118"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43252298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
