Research output: Conference paper › Contribution

Abstract

This study explores how the family can act as a resource and to what extent it can be sustained over time. Drawing on qualitative data from a single case study, findings suggest that family businesses rely on entrepreneurial behavior and leadership of the founder in all spheres as a key competitive advantage. With time however this resource can become a liability if not renewed into a new type of leadership and behavior.
