Abstract

Governance in family firms can profoundly influence corporate behavior and performance. Recently, family firm governance (FFG) has attracted extensive attention as increasing empirical research has been published. However, few studies have attempted to map the global research on this growing field. In this paper, a comprehensive literature review and bibliometric analysis are conducted to provide an overview of the FFG. A total of 626 relevant studies from the Web of Sciences Core Collection database between 1998 and 2020 are analyzed. First, based on a literature review by identifying the classification of FFG and topics related to family governance, an overall conceptual structure is proposed. Second, the performance and influence of journals, authors and papers are analyzed by descriptive bibliometric analysis. Finally, with assistance from the CiteSpace and VoS viewer tools, the co-authorship, co-occurrence and co-citation network are presented to display the social and intellectual structure and find the hotspots. The findings of this study help to objectively understand the evolution of FFG and to capture potential research directions.

家族企业治理的文献系统回顾与文献计量分析

家族企业的治理可以深刻地影响企业的行为和绩效。近年来，随着越来越多的实证研究的发表，家族企业治理引起了广泛的关注。然而，很少有研究试图绘制这一不断发展的领域的全球研究地图。本文通过文献综述和计量学分析对FFG进行了概述。本文分析了Web of Sciences Core Collection数据库1998 - 2020年间的626项相关研究。首先，在文献综述的基础上，通过识别FFG的分类和与家族治理相关的主题，提出了一个整体的概念结构。其次，采用描述性文献计量分析方法对期刊、作者和论文的绩效和影响力进行了分析。最后，借助CiteSpace和VoS查看工具，对论文的合著、共现和共被引网络进行分析，展示论文的社会结构和智力结构，寻找热点。本研究的发现有助于客观地理解FFG的演变，并把握潜在的研究方向。
