Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: The following tentative research unveils the paradoxical nature of: Growth-Venturing inclination of business practices as juxtaposed with family business.Family firms are usually confounded with an array of stereotypical myopic views or attitudes towards growth.They are often assumed to be firms that lack dynamism and ambitions for perceived growth.Subsequently, an array of relevant theory, namely; the pecking order theory and social capital in conjunction with excerpts from an ongoing empirical qualitative research; have been chosen as invaluable trajectories within the article and will consequently act as a tentative framework and platform for disputing these various negative assumptions of family firm's potentials and ambitions for growth and growth venturing respectively.
