Dear Professor Gupta,
I´m very interested in your idea.
What kind of directions could you give me to have a better participation on this
project? Is it related with the Globe Project? Is it possible to develop some
research applying the Globe here in Brazil?
Greetings from the hot and exuberant Brazilian Summer.

> * Call for Papers: Family Business Models From Around the

>
>
>
> Family businesses are the dominant form of business organization throughout
> the world. Given the many cultures and regions that exist, growing
> empirical evidence suggests that "one size does not fit all."
> Appropriately,
> different models of family businesses exist in different regions. While a
> growing body of knowledge about these differences exists, they tend to be
> centered on a few cultures (e.g., Anglo) and are dispersed throughout a wide
> array of publication outlets. Only a small body of knowledge exists on
> comparative assessment of family businesses, or the forces influencing the
> workings of different models of family businesses.
>
>
>
> To assist in further understanding the similarities and differences of these
> firms within different cultures, the Family Owned Business Institute at
> Grand Valley State University, and the Simmons College School of Management
> are preparing a Compendium of Family Business Models from around the world.
> The purpose of this project is to assemble and publish a single Compendium
> of family businesses models for each of ten different cultures from around
> the world. This Compendium is intended to be a useful resource for
> scholars, students, practitioners, and policy makers, containing both
> "classic" (previously published) and new (as yet unpublished). The
> Compendium will comprise ten volumes, one on each of the following cultures
> of the world, using the GLOBE framework:
>
>
>
> 1) Confucian Asia 6) Latin America
>
>
>
> 2) Southern Asia 7) Nordic Europe
>
>
>
>
> 3) Eastern Europe 8) Germanic Europe
>
>
>
>
> 4) Middle East 9) Latin Europe
>
>
>
>
> 5) Sub-Saharan Africa 10) Anglo cultures
>
>
>
> We invite submissions of published and/or unpublished articles, review
> articles, and case studies related to exemplary or representative family
> business models from different societies around the world. The submitted
> pieces should exemplify important dynamics of family businesses that:
>
>
>
> a) are common in your society
>
>
>
> b) have been the subject of significant public debate or attention in media
> or otherwise, or
>
>
>
> c) are important from the standpoint of research on family businesses within
> your culture.
>

>
> *Multi-Disciplinary Themes*
>
>
>
> In addition to the traditional areas of governance and succession, we are
> especially interested in works that look at the strategic, operational, and
> information technology areas within family firms. Some recent research
> suggests that family businesses outperform professional firms on operational
> effectiveness criteria, but have been slow to adopt information technology
> because of their reliance on informal and experiential information
> management. They have also been found to be weak in competitive
> intelligence, and in strategic planning and global positioning. This
> project seeks to establish the sources of operational effectiveness in
> family businesses, and their challenges in adopting information technology,
> and in competitive intelligence, strategic planning, and global positioning.
> We are also interested in the entrepreneurial aspects of family businesses.
>
>
>
> Submissions on cultural and gender issues within the family business
> framework are encouraged. Limited research has been done on these issues in
> many cultures, and most of it is not readily accessible to mainstream
> scholars and practitioners. In recent years, women are playing more active
> roles in family business and these roles have not been well documented.
> Research which addresses women owned family businesses is particularly
> welcomed, as this has been a previously under-researched area and
> international growth trend.
>
>
>
> The articles for the Compendium may include, but are not limited to,:
>
>
>
> - Case studies on noteworthy family businesses in specific societies or
> regions, clearly highlighting family business dynamics unique to those
> societies or regions.
>
> - Survey based articles that bring out the distinguishing features of the
> family businesses within specific societies or regions.
>
> - Empirically based articles that identify the distinguishing features of
> different types of family businesses in specific societies or regions.
>
> - Empirically based articles that contrast family businesses in specific
> societies or regions with non-family businesses.
>
> - Reviews of literature on the family businesses in specific societies or
> regions.
>
> - Major theoretical frameworks on the family businesses in specific
> societies or regions.
>
> - Articles on the distinctive challenges, problems, and opportunities facing
> the family businesses of specific societies or regions.
>
>
>
> Submitted papers should be no more than 20 pages, including exhibits,
> tables, and references. The references should be in APA format. We
> request that longer papers and manuscripts be shortened to meet these
> requirements.
>
>
>
> All papers should be sent as an email attachment to
gupta05@gmail.com, and
> should be submitted no later than January 31, 2006. We anticipate a final
> decision on the inclusion of the paper in the Compendium by March 1, 2006.
> The
> Compendium is expected to be published by July 1, 2006. For additional
