| Abstract: | Family firms are regarded as an important phenomenon throughout the world. It is, however, surprising to note that empirical research surrounding the ambitions, "external" environments and strategies of family firms is scarce. This exploratory paper addresses this research gap. To detect real, rather than sample differences between independent family and nonfamily unquoted companies in the UK, a matched sample methodology was utilized. In total, data was collected on 51 variables. |
