Family Businesses in Historical Perspective: An Interdisciplinary Conversation
History is pervasive in family business settings, where values, beliefs, narratives, and artifacts of the founding family are handed down from generation to generation. The history of a family and its business, therefore, pervades family business goals, practices, and outcomes, creating a close link between the history of family businesses, their present traditions, and future aspirations. Family businesses can be burdened or empowered by their history. This talk explored the significance and values of examining family capitalism from a historical perspective in conjunction with the upcoming special issue of the Family Business Review journal (FBR).
