What do we know about private family firms? A meta-analytic review
The universe of family firms is heterogeneous, and findings gleaned from publicly listed firms may not apply to the ubiquitous, but less frequently studied, privately held family firm (PFF).

Recent evidence suggests that successors do not simply inherit their parents' firm, but have to pay a certain price.

We find that family cohesion increases discount...

To conceptualize this relationship, the novel The Hours by Michael Cunningham is analysed and interpreted as a queer story of how women - writing, reading and enacting a novel - acquire an opening to a life that breaks...
