Abstract
Little research has been conducted on family business strategy, even though a significant portion of the nation's largest companies are family controlled. This article provides a framework for addressing strategy and proposes topics for research on family business strategy. Topics include mission, industry and situation analyses, global strategy, and strategy implementation.Keywords
