Annika Geyer aims to advance the current
understanding of variations in family businesses' growth performance and to
explain their potential origins. She focuses on the respective impact of the
set of relevant background factors (stemming from top executives' individual
characteristics as well as the given organizational and social environment) on
the firms growth performance and the underlying processes through which this
impact is transmitted. The insights of this work constitute an essential step
towards settling the debate on how the family actually contributes to the family
firm's performance and hold some important implications for practitioners.
