Family business research in the last decade. a bibliometric review

Abstract

This article seeks to offer a better understanding of the existing literature on family firm research, expanding on aspects that previous literature review studies have not fully understood or evaluated. It provides an updated and holistic perspective based on the compilation, organisation, and systematisation of 3.368 family firm research articles published from 2011 to 2020. By conducting a descriptive bibliometric analysis, the study reveals patterns in journals, articles, and authors that will aid future research.
