Bird, Welsch, Astrachan, & Pistrui, 2002; Dyer, 2003).”
‘Types’ of private family firms: an exploratory conceptual and empirical analysis (2007, background): “However, family firms associated with ‘family agendas’ may be owned and managed differently (Dyer 2003).”

Surviving on the Margins of the Economy: Working Relationships in Small, Low-Wage Firms (2006, unknown): “Recent research underlines the potential for misleading accounts if attention is not paid to the influence of family dynamics on the behaviour of the firm (Dyer, 2003; Hoy, 2003).”
Family Ownership and R&D Intensity in Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Firms (2015, background): “Under these circumstances, i.e., when the owning family’s loss aversion is low, family ownership is likely to promote R&D intensity due to the long-term orientation of family owners (Dyer, 2003; Zellweger, 2007).”
The entrepreneurial orientation–performance relationship in private family firms: the moderating role of socioemotional wealth (2014, background): “Family firms are the most dominant organizational form in the world (Dyer 2003), but in the meantime they are so diverse that they cannot be treated as one single group of organizations (Westhead and Howorth 2007).”
A Configurational Approach of the Relationship Between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Growth of Family Firms (2010, background): “…taken as a result of more informal decision-making processes (Habbershon et al., 2003; Mustakallio & Autio, 2002) and (b) because family involvement facilitates the implementation of decisions taken by a strong process of resource allocation and implementation of strategic innovation (Dyer, 2003).”

All in the family? Social performance and corporate governance in the family firm (2012, background): “…2005), a defining characteristic of family firms is the centrality of family control and involvement in firm decision-making (Birley, 1999; Chrisman et al., 2005; Chua, Chrisman, & Sharma, 1999; Dyer, 2003; Dyer & Whetten, 2006; Ibrahim, McGuire, & Dumas, 2001; Lansberg, Perrow, & Rogalsky, 1988).”
From Longevity of Firms to Transgenerational Entrepreneurship of Families (2012, background): “In consequence, we argue that many behavioral antecedents critical to survival and organizational success in family firms cannot be understood without inclusion of the family element (Dyer, 2003).”
