EDITORIAL

WANTED—Theoretical Contributions: An editorial on the pitfalls and pathways in family business research
Donald O. Neubaum and Evelyn Micelotta

View Editorial

This editorial provides guidance to family business scholars by describing how best to ensure that their research makes a theoretical contribution to the literature. The editorial identifies and discusses four categories of family business papers, each of which presents different likelihoods of making a theoretical contribution. For each type, the authors highlight common shortcomings found in manuscripts and offer ideas to sharpen their theoretical work. Following that, the authors provide a practical guide to help family business scholars understand, clarify, and deepen the contributions of their work.
