Dear all,
I would like you to recommend me some papers that explore the impact of national culture on family firms, as it is a topic I would like to explore on my thesis. Thank you for your help.

Conclusion:
Family businesses are known for their strong, distinctive cultures — cultures that are often heavily influenced by the vision, style and values of the founder and carefully maintained through the generations. These cultures bind employees to a common cause and foster loyal and stable workforces. Imo, the inter-generational factor can be characterized as (economic) mentality as introduced by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Geiger into the socio-economic research discourse.
In this sense, Anja del Bono , it is possible to characterize these distinct economic mentalities ( e.g. German Mittelstand, azienda di famiglia, 財閥).
The percentage of family firms, with respect to productivity shares of a national economy, seems to be a key indicator, but also longevity in years.
Qualitative and quantities research data can be merged by this mixed approach; I do recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling
national culture impacts not only family firms but business as a whole as businesses are made up of people both employees and promoters. Culture affects the way people think specially about morality , ethical decisions and promoters policies . The real difference is that non family run businesses are mostly public held companies and are more closely regulated and hence compliance is much higher than in family managed companies . But corporate policies and strong value system comes form families only which in turn is derived form age old culture of that society. You can find many papers on entrepreneurship specially family run businesses.
