Abstract

Family business research focuses on the intersection of family and business systems. With this dual focus, scholars are given the opportunity to inform both systems from a scholarly and practical standpoint. A common expectation for publication is the need to show the practical implications of the scholarly study. In this chapter, we explore the characteristics of ‘practical implications’ discussed within published works, and how they can be used to theoretically inform scholars as they design and pursue subsequent family business research studies. Using this characterization, we conduct a novel structured study to link what is actually occurring in practice and compare it to what is offered as practical implications within current academic research. This effort highlights a way in which family business research can address the needs of family business practitioners while maintaining a high level of academic rigor.
