Family Business Review (FBR)
Family Business Review (FBR) was the first scholarly journal dedicated to family enterprise research and continues to shape the field as a top-ranked business journal.
Published by SAGE, FBR is devoted exclusively to exploring the dynamics of family-controlled enterprises—from large global firms to smaller family-run businesses. Its scope extends beyond founding entrepreneurs to include second- and third-generation enterprises and some of the oldest continuously operating companies in the world. The journal also features interdisciplinary research on families of wealth, family foundations, and family offices.
