The F-PEC scale of family influence: construction, validation, and further implication for theory.
Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice ; For a solution to the family business definition dilemma, we propose the application of a scale that assesses the extent and the quality of family influence via the measurement of three dimensions: Power, Experience, and Culture.
