In the last 10 years research about family business brands has evolved greatly. What started as an exploration of what family businesses do as part of their marketing approaches has grown to be a growing area of interest for new researchers entering the field. In this short seminar we will discuss this evolution, and propose new avenues of interest in this exploration.
