This study delves into the pivotal role of socioemotional wealth (SEW) in shaping the global expansion strategies of Moroccan family businesses. By employing a quantitative approach, we scrutinize the intricate dynamics between SEW and internationalization decisions, focusing on control preferences during global ventures. Our investigation encompasses a comparative case study analysis of 51 Moroccan family enterprises, enriched by insights from semi-structured interviews and organizational data. Preliminary indings underscore the necessity of integrating SEW considerations in strategic planning for successful internationalization, highlighting a nuanced understanding of control mechanisms in family irms' cross-border operations. This research contributes to the broader discourse on family business internationalization, offering a novel perspective on the interplay between emotional wealth and global market engagement.
