In this study we identified and analyzed 75 articles in the family business (FB) literature
between 2000 and 2014, focusing on the case study design they adopted. We found the
positivistic case study approach to be the FB disciplinary convention. The two alternative
approaches of critical realism and interpretivism were used to a significantly lesser extent.
We anticipate that in the future the positivistic approach will continue to be used widely. The
other two approaches could be employed to a greater extent, thus contributing to scientific
pluralism in FB case study research.
