Cover Story: Family businesses are a crucial component of the entrepreneurial fabric, representing the majority of enterprises and job opportunities globally. In the context of globalized markets, internationalization is essential for long-term survival. However, the exact impact of family ownership on internationalization remains unclear. This study aims to provide theoretical and practical contributions regarding the influence of family ownership on internationalization strategies. Using a multi-perspective approach and considering various determinants, the study examines three proxies—propensity, intensity, and scope of internationalization—to uncover nuanced dynamics. The findings highlight variations in the determinants according to the perspectives in use, offering valuable guidance for managerial and policy domains. View this paper
