This was no easy feat and there is a great deal of sophistication in modeling complex systems such as the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and land area use.

As one of the most dominant organisational forms in global business environment, family businesses have been drawing attention among management scholars with a strong focus especially on “succession, performance, and governance” of these companies (Astrachan & Shanker, 2003; Zahra & Sharma, 2004). Although the first attempt to conduct research on family businesses can be traced back to Trow’s (1961) empirical study entitled “Executive succession in small companies” in which he investigated the factors that affect succession planning for top positions in small companies, its popularity has started to increase after 1980s (Benavides-Velasco, Quintana-Garcia, & Guizman-Parra, 2013).

However, despite the growing interest in these topics, this field of research can be regarded as still a burgeoning field of inquiry and even considered to be in its infancy (Chrisman et al., 2008).
