Abstract
Abstract only
Extant theory explaining the performance of family firms has typically focused on differences between family firms and non-family firms. Considerable research in this tradition has demonstrated that family managers differ from non-family managers. The strategic leadership of family firms, however, varies in terms of the specific family relationships represented at each firm. Little theory exists which explains how specific family relationships impact organizational performance. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and a sample of Chinese IPO firms, we conduct an exploratory study to identify configurations of family relationships that, when present among a firm’s strategic leaders, combined with specific corporate governance arrangements to produce superior firm performance. From our results, we are able to generate three testable theoretical propositions regarding such configurations. We present these findings and propositions in order to prompt deeper scholarship and investigation into the rich impact that families can have on the strategic management of the firm.
