Family firms are vulnerable to many decision biases that deviate their internationalization strategies from rational economic models. One such bias is bifurcation bias, which refers to the asymmetric treatment of family and non-family assets within a firm. Bias can also be triggered by the framing approach (e.g., aggregation rules, gain versus loss framing) that family firms use to evaluate investment outcomes. The project aims to explore how decision biases impact family firms' internationalization, exploring heterogeneity among family firms and between family and non-family firms.
The PhD candidate should have a background (MSc, research master) in International Business, Strategic Management, Organizational Behaviour or other relevant discipline.
