“…Family businesses account for more than 90% of commercial activities in the Gulf region (Rettab & Azzam, 2011). There are huge differences among family businesses across cultures, religions, and legal systems (Randerson, Dossena, & Fayolle, 2016). Currently, there are limited studies that examine the field of business strategy and the environment in this region (e.g., Dayan, Zacca, Husain, Di Benedetto, & Ryan, 2016 family firms or the extent and mode of family involvement in ownership and management (e.g., Nordqvist, Sharma, & Chirico, 2014).…”

The study advances knowledge in the field of business strategy and the environment by incorporating mindfulness theory into the research on socioemotional wealth (SEW) and its environmental consequences in family businesses. Using an integrative model, the paper investigates the relationship between mindfulness SEW dimensions and family firms' environmental strategies, specifically in developing sustainable products and processes. This study also proposes the firm's capabilities as a mediator in this relationship, while market turbulence is a moderator in the relationship between the firm's capabilities and sustainable products and processes. The empirical results show that in protecting SEW, specifically in the identification of family members with the firm and binding social ties, mindfulness provides a rich endowment that develops appropriate capabilities to produce sustainable products and processes. While the moderating role of market turbulence is insignificant, we can infer that irrespective of how turbulent (or not) the market is, the firm's capabilities are a key determinant of sustainable products and processes. Our findings offer theoretical and managerial implications for sustainable practices in the family business context.

“…This relative lack of studies creates plenty of research potential, since these activities are better suited to capturing the specificities of the family business context: entrepreneurial activities can shed light on how family firms last in the long term, and show a better fit at different levels of analysis. Although family involvement in the business is one of the main factors studied in the family business context to understand the differences between family and non‐family businesses, recent work has acknowledged that there are huge differences among families across cultures, legal systems, and religions (Randerson, Dossena, and Fayolle ). In addition, the reciprocal relationship between changes in family configuration (e.g., marriage, divorce, re‐marriage, and birth) and entrepreneurship is understudied and deserves research attention.…”

International audienceThis paper is the first in a JSBM special issue on entrepreneurship in family firms, i.e., the firm-level entrepreneurial activities and attitudes that occur when a family is considerably involved in an established organization. We provide a systematic literature review of 109 articles written on this growing issue, based on a framework that highlights the antecedents, outcomes, and processes of entrepreneurship in family firms. We also offer a brief overview of the contributions of each of the papers in this issue and conclude by outlining a research agenda for future activities in this area of inquiry.Cet article est le premier de ce numéro spécial de JSBM dédié à l’entrepreneuriat dans les entreprises familiales, i.e. les activités et attitudes qui se manifestent quand une famille est fortement impliquée dans une organisation existante.

“…Family members often offer to the family firm resources such as time, labor, advice, expertise, information or moral support (Dyer, 2006). It is also important to underscore at this point that the concept of family varies across cultures and time (e.g., Dossena, 2009;Hoy, 2014;Randerson, Dossena, & Fayolle, 2015;Sharma, Melin, & Nordqvist, 2014): family constitution is evolving faster and faster due to legal, social, and societal changes.…”
