I'm investigating empirically (mainly organizational pathologies and dysfunctional dynamics) issues related to the involvement of relatives by marriage in family firms
Dear Fillipo Ferrari.
If your perform an Internet search, for example, a Google search on the terms inbreeding and consanguinity you will probably find many theoretical and empirical references related to your question having to do with marriage between relatives.
It is likely that you have already done this. Is this were the case ignore my suggestion. Let me say that you question was, is, and will certainly be a highly debated topic, mainly because it has given rise to many theoretically debates and empirical research, and has profound social implications.
Best regards,
PS. Unfortunately "inbreeding", so to say, exists in many educational sets, universities, for example. When this is the case, promotion to the rank order of any type of professor (e.g., associate professor, full professor) is not generally based on one's merit, but rather on what may be called "false friendship". This type of inbreeding is highly detrimental to a just functioning of schools, universities, and other organizations. Of course, in this case, "inbreeding" is being used in a metaphorical rather than literal sense.
dear colleague, thank you very much for helpful suggestions... although i did some web investigations, i experienced many difficulties in focusing the right topic/term: hence, you are really helping me
best wishes
