of the contributions according to 10 broad themes. These include recent research developments, corporate governance, family governance, social capital, women in family business, leadership and
human resources management, knowledge management, family business sustainability, the macroeconomic perspective, and broad-based issues (e.g. reputational capital, innovation activities,
acquisition and diversification behavior, and emotional dimensions. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
