Taking this research gap into account, the book aims to deepen our understanding of the role family firms play in the regional economy. In particular, it explores two seldom studied questions. Firstly, what role do family firms play in regional development? Secondly, how do different spatial regional contexts shape family firm operations and performance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFamily Business and Regional Development \u003c\/i\u003epresents a model of \"spatial familiness\" and uses themes such as productivity, networks and competitiveness to shed new light on family businesses. Moreover, it approaches the juxtaposition between family business and regional studies to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, theories, and research methods between the two fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together leading experts in entrepreneurship, regional economics, and economic geography, this book will be a valuable reading for advanced students, researchers and policymakers interested in family firms, regional studies and economic geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRodrigo Basco\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Sheikh Saoud bin Khalid bin Khalid Al-Qassimi Chair in Family Business at the American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoger Stough was the Northern Virginia Endowed Chair and Professor of Public Policy at George Mason University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLech Suwala is Professor of Urban and Regional Economics at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47444352237746,"sku":"9780367559052","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d5f568d259e1b1c88244087ea6309393.webp?v=1778703794","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/family-business-and-regional-development-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
