Exploring transgenerational entrepreneurship

Pramodita Sharma, Philipp Sieger, Robert S. Nason, Kavil Ramachandran

Drawing insights from in-depth longitudinal studies of 26 family firms in 12 countries, the contributors discuss the critical role of intangible assets such as values, virtues, tacit knowledge and learning, professionalization, internal and external social networks, and reputation. Each chapter includes both a case study that serves as a practical illustration of a particular topic as well as a discussion of the theoretical perspectives and broader implications.
