This PDW intends to promote a widely debate on the most fascinating challenges that scholars face in looking at the psychological foundations of management in family firms. The PDW is composed of two parts. In the first part, a multidisciplinary panel of scholars discusses their recent research that makes use of psychological constructs and theories to advance family business and family entrepreneurship studies. The debate revolves around three lines of conversation: (a) executives' and family entrepreneurs' psychological heuristics and biases in family firms; (b) psychological paths in family firms' decision-making process; (c) the interface among personal characteristics, compensation, and job mobility of executives in family firms. An interactive conversation with Family Business Review's editors closes the first part. In the second part, attendees will discuss their working papers in thematic roundtables. Participants to the roundtables are invited to submit the most recent version of their papers (or, alternatively, an extended abstract) that they would like to discuss. The deadline for registration is July 20, 2019.
