Family Business Performance and Succession Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences Firm Innovation and Growth

Abstract

This work carries out a comprehensive and systematic review of academic research on entrepreneurship in family firms applying bibliometric indicators. We review the literature published on these topics on the database ISI Web of Knowledge's Social Sciences Citation Index. The results provided show that it is a relatively recent field of study, highly interconnected with high co-citation between authors, which verifies compliance with Lotka's Law, and where the most productive authors and journals do not necessarily coincide with those most cited. Finally, the co-word analysis has identified research topics classified into widely developed issues and specialized peripheral issues.
