Biographical note
Edited by Alfredo De Massis, DâAnnunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy, IMD Business School, Switzerland and Lancaster University, UK and Nadine Kammerlander, Chair of Family Business, WHU â Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany<i>'One of the reasons for the shortage of qualitative studies published in top academic journals has been the lack of rigorous methodological directions. Alfredo De Massis and Nadine Kammerlander's Handbook fills this gap by offering an encompassing set of guidelines and clever suggestions to perform rich investigations of the most salient phenomena in family business, and to publish the results. These thoughtful and immediately applicable methods tremendously enhance scholars' ability to understand and explain these complex and fascinating organizations.'</i><br /> --Carlo Salvato, Bocconi University, Italy<p><i>'Globally, interest in researching phenomena surrounding family businesses and business families is growing. Simultaneously, expectations regarding rigor and quality of research methods are also being elevated. This edited book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to produce meaningful and impactful qualitative research, not just in family business but in related fields as well.'</i><br /> --Tyge Payne, Texas Tech University, US</p><p><i>'This is a superb book on a critical and much-neglected approach to family business research.
