Role of boards in family firms

Role of boards in family firms

Project description
– Review of existing literature about the role of boards in family firms
– What does theory and research say about the role/function of boards in family firms?
– Does most of the research support the agency theory and that boards have to control the family firm management?
– Or does recent research focus the resource based view and a more multi-theoretic approach that boards are a resource and give useful advice and know-how in family firms
