Abstract: Internationalisation of family business groups is an important topic in the global business economy, particularly for those in dynamic environments changing quickly due to economic and financial trends. An understanding of the role of family business groups in transition economies is especially interesting due to the different institutional pressures existing in the internationalisation process. Often family business groups in transition economies are motivated to internationalise because of political, social and environmental conditions. The objective of this paper is to discuss the various contexts, which help increase the strategies adopted by internationalising family business groups in transition economies by proposing a set of research propositions. This paper states the implications for family business managers who are operating in transition economies but want to internationalise. In addition, suggestions for family business researchers and global policy makers interested in family business internationalisation strategies in transition economies are discussed.
