Family ownership
综述了全球最常见的公司所有权形式：个人（尤其是创始人）和家族所有权的普遍性、持续性及其对财务和非财务绩效的影响，并探讨了家族所有者如何影响公司行为。
Abstract This article reviews the existing literature about the most prevalent form of corporate ownership around the world: ownership by individuals—particularly founders—and families. We summarize the existing evidence about the prevalence and persistence of family ownership around the world, along with its impact on performance—both financial and non-financial—relative to other types of corporate ownership. We discuss how and why these empirical facts and findings come about—why owners in general, and family owners in particular, are critical drivers of firm behaviour and performance, and how they are able to exercise their influence over corporations in which other shareholders, such as institutional investors, and other stakeholders can also play an important role.
