Family Firm Heterogeneity and Governance: A Configuration Approach
结合家族在所有权和管理中的参与程度,识别出九种家族企业类型,并基于配置方法探讨每种类型最有效的治理机制,帮助理解不同家族企业应如何设计治理结构以实现优先绩效目标。
Family involvement in ownership and management of business varies significantly within family firms. Although the literature recognizes the diversity in family firms, it remains unclear what governance mechanisms are most appropriate to achieve prioritized performance goals of different types of family firms. By combining two established categorizations of family involvement in firm ownership and management, nine types of family firms are identified. Drawing on the configuration approach, we theorize the governance mechanisms likely to most efficiently address the incentive systems, authority relations, and norms of legitimization in each of these types of family firms.
