Abstract

This paper investigates the relationships between family influence and family firm performance. Specifically, we investigate how generational ownership dispersion, family management involvement, and family member reciprocity affect firm performance. We also consider the moderating role of innovativeness. Our findings indicate that family firm influence can have both positive and negative consequences for family firm performance. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.
