The Relationship Between Boards and Planning in Family Businesses
基于130多家家族企业的调查数据，研究了董事会和顾问委员会的存在与规划活动使用之间的关系，发现董事会的两种主要角色（治理管理和提供资源）都与规划显著相关。
This study examines relationships between the existence of boards of directors and advisory boards and the use of planning in family businesses. It is argued that both of the primary roles of boards, the governance of a firm's management team for the firm's stake-holders and the provision of valuable business resources to the firm's management team, are significantly related to the use of planning activities in family businesses. The empirical evidence, drawn from a survey of more than 130 family businesses, largely supports the hypotheses. Conclusions and suggestions for future research close the article.
