We review and synthesize the growing literature concerning the internationalization of small and medium‐sized family enterprises (family SMEs) around a strategy tripod framework. In doing so, we identify various resource‐based, institution‐based, and industry‐based factors that contribute to family SME internationalization endeavors. We also pinpoint possible home‐country‐level and host‐country‐level institutional and industry‐based structural–cultural contingencies that may interact with family SME resource‐based factors to accentuate or impede their internationalization. Moreover, we highlight different behavioral orientations as crucial missing links that characterize the family SME internationalization scholarship. Overall, our comprehensive synthesis of the literature sheds light on how internationalization strategies of family SMEs vary based on important drivers and contextual influences captured in our tripod framework.

家庭中小企业国际化的背后：战略三脚架综合

我们围绕战略三脚架框架回顾并综合了有关中小型家族企业（家族中小企业）国际化的日益增长的文献。在此过程中，我们确定了各种有助于家庭中小企业国际化的资源，基于机构和基于行业的因素。我们还指出了可能与本国中小企业资源基础因素相互作用以加重或阻碍其国际化的母国一级和东道国一级的机构和行业的结构性文化突发事件。此外，我们强调了不同的行为取向，这是表征家庭中小企业国际化奖学金的关键缺失环节。总体而言，我们对文献的全面综合揭示了家庭中小型企业的国际化战略如何根据三脚架框架中捕获的重要驱动因素和环境影响而变化。
