Diversification Decisions in Family‐Controlled Firms
研究了家族企业在国内和国际多元化上的决策，发现家族企业比非家族企业更少多元化，且偏好国内或文化相近地区，但风险增加时更愿意多元化。
abstract This study examines diversification decisions of family firms and suggests that on average family firms diversify less both domestically and internationally than non‐family firms. When they do diversify, family firms tend to opt for domestic rather than international diversification, and those that go the latter route prefer to choose regions that are ‘culturally close’. Lastly, we find that family firms are more willing to diversify as business risk increases. The hypotheses are tested using a sample of 360 firms, 160 of them being family‐controlled and the rest (200) non‐family‐controlled.
