Corporate Governance Practices in Flemish Family Businesses
研究了佛兰德斯家族企业的公司治理实践，探讨所有权结构、董事会和管理实践与家族所有权和代际的关系，并比较家族与非家族企业的差异。
Corporate governance practices in family businesses (FB) remain a research domain with many unsolved questions. Nonetheless, researchers agree that corporate governance practices are important for family–backed companies. Different family ownership structures and different family generations influence the governance structures installed. So far, no research has been conducted on corporate governance characteristics among Flemish family companies. This study explores the relationships between ownership structure, board and management practices to find out where Flemish family businesses differ from non–family businesses (NFB). Additionally, this research investigates to what extent differences can be found within the group of family businesses based on family ownership and family generation.
