international arena to attract contributions of both new scholars of the field and scholars from the established community in family business, that will provide new insights on topics that have received significant attention in the past, as well as we especially encourage scholars to undertake innovative papers and discussions of topics that have not received much attention but are important

world\u2019s business community. Their creation, growth, and longevity are critical to the success of the global economy. Driven by unique goals that interact at multiple levels, they continue to stimulate research which\u00a0 is progressing in terms of theory building. However, the systematic adoption of comprehensive and theoretically grounded frameworks that effectively capture the peculiarities of family businesses is still lacking. To advance our field, we welcome papers investigating one or several dimensions of family businesses, with multi-theoretical and multi-level approaches, and cross-cultural research. We are particularly interested in contributing to advancing \u201cFamily Business Research\u201d as an independent field for family businesses with studies that offer rigor to Academia and relevance to owner-managers, practitioners, policymakers, and local communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Goal 4: Quality education; Goal 5: Gender equality; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities; Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Primary Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rafaela Gjergji &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:rgjergji@liuc.it\">rgjergji@liuc.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->\n\n<div class=\"link-template-default card mb-2\">\n    <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <div class=\"media\">\n            <div class=\"mr-3 img-48\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpdm_icon\" alt=\"Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/pdf.svg\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"media-body\">\n                <h3 class=\"package-title\"><a href='https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/download\/gt04_00-family-business-research-general-track\/'>GT04_00 - Family Business Research General Track<\/a><\/h3>\n                <div class=\"text-muted text-small\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i> 1 file(s) <i class=\"fas fa-hdd ml-3\"><\/i> 189.16 KB<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ml-3\">\n                <a class='wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ' rel='nofollow' href='#' data-downloadurl=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/download\/gt04_00-family-business-research-general-track\/?wpdmdl=5383&refresh=69e0580ad88441776310282\">Download<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>ST04_01 &#8211; Behavior, Performance, and Sustainability in Family Firms<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Track \u201cBehavior, Performance, and Sustainability in Family Firms\u201d sheds light on family firms\u2019 behaviors, traits and structures that influence the adoption of sustainable practices and, in turn, financial, social and environmental performance.

First, by encouraging researchers to borrow and replicate research strategies, we expect to foster the generalization of results and test mainstream theories and approaches across contexts. Second, by encouraging researchers to borrow and extend research strategies, we call for scholars to incorporate the specificities of the environment-family relationship to contextualize the family business phenomenon.

The focus is on assessing digital maturity, environmental sustainability, the strategic approaches of small and family organizations. Key themes include evaluating resource constraints, analyzing whether digitalization and sustainability are competing or complementary, financial, governance, and managerial characteristics unique to family firms in a twin transition. The potential concurrent pursuit of digitalization and environmental sustainability goals might be facilitated within entrepreneurial ecosystems. Empirical, theoretical, and methodological papers are welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities; Goal 13: Climate action<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Primary Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Elisa Conz, University of Pavia &#8211; elisa.conz@unipv.it<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->\n\n<div class=\"link-template-default card mb-2\">\n    <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <div class=\"media\">\n            <div class=\"mr-3 img-48\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpdm_icon\" alt=\"Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/pdf.svg\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"media-body\">\n                <h3 class=\"package-title\"><a href='https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/download\/t04_03-navigating-the-twin-transition-the-role-of-small-and-family-businesses-in-digital-and-green-transformations\/'>T04_03 - Navigating the Twin Transition: The Role of Small and Family Businesses in Digital and Green Transformations<\/a><\/h3>\n                <div class=\"text-muted text-small\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i> 1 file(s) <i class=\"fas fa-hdd ml-3\"><\/i> 189.16 KB<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ml-3\">\n                <a class='wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ' rel='nofollow' href='#' data-downloadurl=\"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/download\/t04_03-navigating-the-twin-transition-the-role-of-small-and-family-businesses-in-digital-and-green-transformations\/?wpdmdl=5547&refresh=69e0580ae4de91776310282\">Download<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-663","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5793,"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/663\/revisions\/5793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conferences.euram.academy\/2025conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
