The findings underscore the Paramount importance of effective intellectual capital management in driving business performance, particularly for SMFFs, drawing upon the knowledge-based perspective. In line with behavioral theory, this study also provides empirical evidence demonstrating that SMFFs located in rural areas adeptly navigate locational challenges by effectively translating their Added Value Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) into sustainable performance, thereby outperforming their urban counterparts. This phenomenon, referred to as SMFF heterogeneity, can be attributed to their profound emotional connection and deep-rooted bonds with their local communities, intensifying their commitment to the regional milieu. Consequently, their success becomes intricately linked with the spatial context they inhabit. In this regard, this research offers significant practical and theoretical contributions to the understanding of SMFFs, shedding light on the interplay between intellectual capital, geographic location, and sustainable performance in the intricate landscape of family firms. %K Intellectual capital %K Performance %K Family firms %K Context %K Location %K Regional development %K Capital intelectual %K Rendimiento %K Empresa familiar %K Localización %K Desarrollo regional %K 5311 Organización y Dirección de Empresas %K D22 %K L25 %K M11 %K M14 %K O12 %K O18 %K O34 %K O44 %K R11 %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
