Methodology Drawing on multi-level and longitudinal data the research provides in-depth insights into how the affiliated firms are linked to the focal firm; how the founding family in a large FBG organizes the top leadership roles spanning multiple countries; and whether the inter-organizational and inter-personal networks change over time and which are the most important items representing the SEW dimensions. FindingsFrom the findings, it emerges that family ownership, family leadership and the presence of trusted people are pivotal actors in the FBG's internationalization process. OriginalityThe originality of the research stems from its contribution in that despite providing illustrative evidence base on a single case study, the findings offer additional insights into the importance of, and the instrumental role played by, SEW preservation as a perspective to explain FBGs' internationalization.
