Incubating the next generation to venture: The case of a family business in Hong Kong

Family entrepreneurship as a field of research: Exploring its contours and contents

“…In order to explore the entrepreneurial process within business families across the globe both qualitatively and quantitatively, the STEP (Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices) project has been founded and involves now more than 30 countries and 125 researchers. This team has been gathering and analyzing work that is being done on CFE worldwide ; we expect that publications based on this international source of information will be produced both to better understand CFE in single countries (Au, Chiang, Birtch, & Ding, 2013;Salvato, et al, 2010) and internationally. Despite the scope of the project and the breadth of data collection, we note that this project bears a weakness in that it relies on the five dimensional multi-varying conceptualization of entrepreneurial orientation (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996) as means to understand entrepreneurial processes in business families.…”

“…Table 12 includes the list of the top-30 articles published in 2013-2014 receiving more citations in the three-year period 11 after their publication (working with a threeyear period allows analyzing a homogeneous time window for all of them). Apart from the above mentioned studies by Li et al (2014a, b), Liu et al (2013) and among the other most promising articles there are studies related to job behavior, supervision, and job attitudes (Ngo, Loi, Foley, Zheng, & Zhang, 2013;Wei & Si, 2013); analyses related to family business management and succession (Au, Chiang, Birtch, & Ding, 2013); works focused on knowledge management and transfer , as well as studies focusing on innovation and internationalization processes developed from an emerging economy perspective . 11 We are considering the year of publication and the two following ones.…”

Capacity building at the Asia Pacific Journal of Management

“…The journal has also sought to remain at the forefront of research in developing the institutional view strategy (Sauerwald & Peng, 2013;Young, Tsai, Wang, Liu, & Ahlstrom, 2014), emerging economy multinational enterprises (Meyer & Thaijongrak, 2013;Popli & Sinha, 2014), comparative corporate governance (Ding, Sun, & Au, 2014;Filatotchev, Jackson, & Nakajima, 2013) and the board (Liu, Wang, Zhao, & Ahlstrom, 2013;Van Essen, Van Oosterhout, & Carney, 2012). In addition, APJM continues to publish extensive indigenous research on management in Asia (Ahlstrom, Chen, & Yeh, 2010;Horak & Klein, 2015;Leung, Chen, Zhou, & Lim, 2014;Li, 2012), the strategies and behaviors of Asian family firms and business groups (Au, Chiang, Birtch, & Ding, 2013;Yabushita, & Suehiro, 2014), and the role of government-business relationships (Dou & Li, 2013;Li, Chen, Liu, & Peng, 2014) and state enterprises (Maheshwari & Ahlstrom, 2004;Stan, Peng, & Bruton, 2014). However it is important to emphasize that APJM is also a general management journal that welcomes and publishes research on meso and micro level phenomena.…”
