Declining or Waning
- Traditional Succession Practices:
Research focusing solely on traditional succession practices has diminished as newer themes such as dynamic capabilities and innovation have gained prominence. - Family Business vs. Non-Family Business Comparisons:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies that strictly compare family firms to non-family firms, as the focus shifts towards understanding the unique attributes of family businesses themselves. - Static Governance Models:
The exploration of static governance models has waned, with more emphasis now being placed on adaptive governance and responsive leadership in the face of changing business environments. - Generalized Leadership Styles:
