CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue of the Journal of International Business Studies, Submission Deadline- January 30, 2026

FAMILY BUSINESS RESEARCH ON INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS IN A CHANGING WORLD 

Deadline for Submission: January 30, 2026

Motivation for the Special Issue

Family businesses, which contribute more than 66% of global GDP, significantly influence the global economy, particularly through their dominance in emerging markets. With the fast development of emerging markets, more family businesses from the Global South have stepped on the international stage. These family businesses have unique characteristics and behaviors that are distinct from those of their peers in more developed countries in the Global North. Yet most of the literature examines family businesses in the Global North. This focus has created an important knowledge gap that leads us to direct attention to family businesses in the Global South to advance existing IB theories and introduce new constructs and theories from other fields that enrich the interdisciplinarity and cross-functionality of the IB field.
