Edition changes: Licensed narrative text edition. Original headings, paragraphs and references are preserved with normalized whitespace and layout. Figures, tables, display equations and separately licensed third-party material are not reproduced; use the linked original full text for those elements and definitive pagination. This is an attributed republication, not newly conducted research.
Evidence limits: Cross-sectional self-reports of policies and activities cannot establish causality or objective CSR impact. Intention cannot be fully distinguished from concrete plans with an identified successor. German craft-oriented family SMEs and high owner-management prevalence limit transfer to larger businesses and family offices. Nonsignificant results are not proof of no effect.
Retraction / correction check: No notice found in bounded publisher and Crossref checks Bounded publisher/Crossref checks only. Not an exhaustive Retraction Watch or Crossmark audit; unindexed notices may exist and absence of a notice does not assure scientific validity. Checked 2026-10-22.
Preserved record: Rights and full text checked 2026-10-22. Included in this volume on 2026-10-22. Original source dates remain unchanged.
