Journal of Small Business Management, 62(4), 1942-1981
Develops a scale (the "individual price indicator") for emotional components of an SME owner's first-offer price to non-family successors, from 136 articles, two qualitative studies (n = 4, n = 48) and two quantitative studies (n = 48, n = 495). Notes that transactions "likely fail" when the first offer deviates from earnings value.
