这篇文章试图揭示维多利亚时代英国小企业的显著特征，并着眼于家庭在企业创建和生存中的作用，在一个以低商业道德为特征的危险的动荡的商业世界中。基于一系列案例研究，研究表明，尽管第二代和第三代企业并不常见，但家族在维持稳定和创造信任环境方面发挥了关键的作用，即使往往是非正式的，而且在那些确实存在家族伙伴关系和代际继承的情况下，较小企业一级的所有权和继承特征似乎促进了创新和增长，而不是阻碍了创新和增长。本文考察了不同类型的家族企业和家族贡献，并在文章的后半部分考察了家族企业网络和创业战略，如家族网络中的市场内部化。
This essay seeks to uncover the distinguishingfeatures of small firms in Victorian Britain, and looks at the role of the family in the creation and survival of firms in what was a dangerously volatile business world characterised by low business morality. Based on a series of case studies, it suggests that although second and third generation firms were uncommon, the family played a critical if often informal role in maintaining stability and generating an environment of trust, and in those situations where family partnerships and inter-generational succession did exist, the characteristics of ownership and succession at the level of the smaller firm appear to have stimulated rather than prevented innovation and growth. Different types of family firm and family contribution are examined, and the latter part of the essay looks at family firm networks and entrepreneurial strategies such as market internalisation within a family network.
