A Bibliometric Analysis of Takeover in Family Firms: Current Themes and Prospects
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
This article highlights the crucial areas and recent dynamics of the takeover field in family firms and recommends avenues for further research. Employing a bibliometric examination, this study analyzes a sample of 63 studies from the Scopus database on acquisition involving family firms between 1997 and early 2021. The study also performed a systematic literature review of the most significant articles as revealed by the computation. We obtain the prominent authors based on citation analysis. We also find current themes and suggest future research avenues. Despite the worldwide prevalence of family firms, there is less study on the takeover of family firms. The results also show that most of the articles are based on the few most studied theories, such as agency theory, resource-based view and stewardship and stagnation perspective, and so on. The scant studies on the takeover of family firms center around acquisition decisions, determinants of acquisition, and acquisition outcomes, with relatively less attention on measuring non-economic goals, board structure, and generation of family members. Finally, the results indicate that very few studies have focused on cross-industry and cross-country to examine the effect of family ownership on takeover events.

Tax, Financial and Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting Concerns of Sexual Harassment Non-disclosure Clauses
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
This research focuses on the tax, financial reporting, and sustainability consequences that companies face as a part of settling agreement non-disclosure clauses for workplace sexual harassment claims and cases. Given recent events such as the sexual harassment cases of former Governor Andrew Cuomo and those in the entertainment industry like Harvey Weinstein, managers, and decision-makers must be able to justify decisions to include such clauses in a settlement agreement, and then require an external review of the facts, circumstances, practices, and institutional policies which helped lead to such claim(s). The recent change in legislation and regulation has impacted how companies can work to eliminate and combat sexual harassment cases in the workplace. Using contextual analysis, we first examine the tax considerations of non-disclosure clauses, post-adoption of I.R.C. §162(q), and subsequently review emerging financial reporting consequences of sexual harassment, and finally, we review sexual harassment in relation to the growing SRI movement and its focus on the two specific ESG factors related to governance and social issues. Our research proposes practical guidelines, considerations, and reforms for companies to manage tax, financial, public relations, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) elements associated with efforts to “weed out” sexual harassment behaviors within organizations.

Linking Supply Chain Management Practices of Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises to Customer Relationship Management Objectives: A Proposed Framework
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
Highlighting the importance of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) for economic development and growth, and the appearance of their supply chain vulnerability due to the pandemic attack. Thus, the aim of this research is to propose a framework linking the supply chain management practices (SCMPs) of MSMEs to CRM objectives for the purpose of improving MSMEs’ operational performance. This article conducted a systematic review of all available publications from two prominent databases (WoS and Scopus) through PRISMA guidelines to explore the relationship between variables upon which the theoretical framework will be identified. Followed by semi-structured interviews with MSMEs’ eco-system stakeholders to validate the proposed framework using content analysis based on NVivo software. The findings revealed the relationship between SCMPs and CRM objectives through MSMEs’ operational performance, and a set of indicators has been determined for each variable, upon which a theoretical framework has been developed. Moreover, content analysis for interviews validates the key determinants for SCMPs, operational performance, customer satisfaction, and loyalty for MSMEs, upon which a proposed framework has been developed. This research provides a framework that can be used by academics and practitioners to assess the impact of SCMPs on CRM objectives through improving MSMEs’ operational performance and corrective action for MSMEs’ procedures.
