Editorial
Family Business Research: Roads Travelled and the Search for Unworn Paths
Donald O. Neubaum
The intent of this editorial is to spur thought about how the domain of family business has evolved and draw attention to the fact that there are a host of potential avenues where the domain can and should surely expand. Topical diversity and concerns about whether or not family business represents a unique field should take a back seat to efforts to explore new questions of practical and theoretical relevance.
