Abstract

The current review, employing the bibliometric analysis of 224 documents extracted from the Web of Science database, aims to examine the growth trajectory, most influential documents, intellectual and conceptual structure of the literature regarding gender issues in family business research. The review identifies three major research lines: "Women’s challenges and opportunities in the family business", "Gender diversity in the family business corporate board", and "Gender and family SMEs management". By reviewing prominent cited references and documents which cited them in each research line, we provide the landscapes and research gaps of three major lines of research for further development.
