    El objetivo del presente trabajo es examinar el estado actual de la investigación sobre renovación estratégica y empresa familiar con el fin de identificar los principales gaps de investigación y proporcionar un camino a los académicos para futuras investigaciones. Para ello hemos realizado una revisión comprensiva y sistemática de 21 trabajos (20 artículos y 1 capítulo de libro) publicados entre 2009 y 2022. Entre los diferentes hallazgos y teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de nuestros trabajos revisados son empíricos, la mayoría de la investigación cuantitativa es de carácter transversal y la variable renovación estratégica es adoptada en todos los trabajos como variable dependiente.

    The objective of this paper is to examine the current state of strategic renewal research in family businesses, identifying the main research gaps and providing a path for future research to the academics. To do so, we have performed a systematic and comprehensive review of 21 studies (20 articles and 1 book chapter) about strategic renewal and family business published between 2009 and 2022. Our comprehensive analysis reveals that the majority of studies to date are empirical studies that have focused on the strategic renewal’s antecedents, while the strategic renewal’s outcomes remain unexplored. This and other significant research gaps are identified and discussed in this review, which emphasizes the need for further research about the topic.
