Although family business participation in economic activities has been a common phenomenon since pre-industrial societies, and its importance has evolved throughout time and across spatial contexts, the book suggests that these factors have often been neglected in family business and regional studies. Taking this research gap into account, the book aims to deepen our understanding of the role family firms play in the regional economy. In particular, it explores two seldom studied questions. Firstly, what role do family firms play in regional development? Secondly, how do different spatial regional contexts shape family firm operations and performance? Family Business and Regional Development presents a model of "spatial familiness" and uses themes such as productivity, networks and competitiveness to shed new light on family businesses. Moreover, it approaches the juxtaposition between family business and regional studies to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, theories, and research methods between the two fields. Bringing together leading experts in entrepreneurship, regional economics, and economic geography, this book will be a valuable reading for advanced students, researchers and policymakers interested in family firms, regional studies and economic geography.Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy SeriesEntrepreneurshipbicsscSmall businesses & self-employedbicssceconomic geographyentrepreneurshipfamily businessfamily enterprisefamily firmsmanagement geographyregional competitivenessregional developmentregional economicsregional familinessregional scienceregional studiesEntrepreneurshipSmall businesses & self-employed338.9Basco Rodrigo926710Stough Roger148461Suwala Lech1356427MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476834803321Family Business and Regional Development3360949UNINA
