Family firm scholars often reference the legacy concerns or intentions of
families when explaining strategic decision making in family firms. Yet, the
concept of family legacy is not clearly defined or delineated in the literature.
As such, we define and explore the family legacy construct from the integrated
perspectives of psychosocial development and sense–making literatures. We
identify three forms of family legacy: biological, material, and social.
Further, we present the family and family firm legacy orientations as unique
constructs, offering a theoretical model that proposes the linkages from these
distinct orientations to strategic decision making and behavioral outcomes in
family firms.
