Abstract

Educational institutions with large numbers of programmed lecture theatres have always had the problem of ensuring that the correct pieces of audiovisual hardware are available and in good working order at the required time and place. It is also essential that the equipment works to the teacher's satisfaction throughout the lecture period. It may also be necessary to make the same equipment available at another location almost immediately after the conclusion of a lecture, with little time available for setting up and ensuring all the equipment is functional.

Abstract

Purpose

Although it has been implicitly or explicitly assumed that family business professionalization is indeed a multidimensional construct, there has been a tendency to confine it to the employment of nonfamily managers and delegating authority in academic research. Dekker et al. (2013) have made an impressive work in untangling the multidimensional structure of family business professionalization. This paper aims to introduce a more comprehensive multidimensional approach and a framework to understand and study family business professionalization by identifying additional dimensions.

Design/methodology/approach

The conceptual framework relies on insights derived from the literature on family business professionalization, occupational professionalism and organizational professionalism to reveal the broader multidimensionality of family business professionalization.

Findings

The proposed framework extends the definition of family business professionalization and offers additional dimensions which were grouped under five overarching headings: professionalization of management, professionalization of organizational structure, processes and operations, professionalization of family's relationship with business, professionalization of employees and professionalization of work environment and culture.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to the literature by providing a wider approach for the understanding of family business professionalization. It presents a new way of thinking about family business professionalization, underlining the importance of employees and organizational culture for the professionalization process in family firms.
