Abstract
This is a comparative study on firm efficiency, a proxy for firm performance, between family-owned business (FOB) and non-family-owned business (non-FOB). This study aims to determine a firms' efficiency by comparing FOB and non-FOB in Southeast Asia countries. The efficiency ratios for five Southeast Asian countries were estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), before a two-sample T-test to determine the differences between FOBs and non-FOBs. Hence, secondary data research techniques from each country from 2007 to 2016 were used to conduct the comparison. The data were gathered from various sources. The findings did not archive any comparison in performance among FOBs and non-FOBs. This finding is fundamental for the Board of Director (BOD), senior management of the firms, researchers, policymakers, scholastics, and the overall population., Ceteris paribus, both FOB and non-FOB, ought to work at a similar efficiency even out and have the option to produce comparative returns for their shareholders. Subsequently, stakeholders can compare treatments to assist in alleviating the dependency on two unique treatments or strategies when managing FOB and non- FOB. In short, it could expand the BOD and management efficiency.
