The Chinese Family Firm: A Model
区分了中国经济家族主义的三个方面，重点分析家族企业普遍性，提出其发展四阶段（新兴、集权、分割、解体），并与菲律宾、日本模式对比。
Three aspects of Chinese economic familism are distinguished: nepotism, paternalism, and family ownership. This essay is mainly concerned with the last aspect and the resultant phenomenon of the prevalence of family firms among privately owned Chinese commercial and industrial enterprises. It is argued that such firms are not necessarily small, impermanent, and conservative, because they tend to behave differently at various stages of their developmental cycle. Four phases of development—emergent, centralized, segmented, and disintegrative—are identified and discussed. This Chinese pattern is then compared with its Filipino and Japanese counterparts.
