Family Business Review (FBR)

Family Business Review (FBR) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal established in 1988 that serves as the leading international forum for research on family-controlled enterprises and family business systems. Its primary aim is to advance academic understanding of the complex interaction between family dynamics and business operations across diverse organizational contexts. The journal explores theoretical, empirical, and conceptual developments spanning succession planning, leadership and governance, socio-emotional wealth preservation, financial management, estate and tax planning, and intergenerational transitions in family businesses. Interdisciplinary in nature, FBR publishes original research from fields such as management, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, finance, sociology, and law, providing insights that bridge scholarship and practice. Because family enterprises constitute a substantial portion of global economic activity, insights from FBR inform both scholars and practitioners seeking to enhance performance, sustainability, and resilience within family firms. The journal prioritizes research that deepens theoretical frameworks and offers empirical evidence on how family involvement shapes business outcomes. FBR is indexed in major databases including Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index, and maintains rigorous standards through double-blind peer review. It continues to influence the evolving study of family enterprise worldwide.
