摘要

家族企业以不愿投资研发而闻名。研究表明，商业秘密保护力度的加强与家族企业研发投入的增加有关。更具体地说，我们发现通过《美国统一商业秘密法》保护商业秘密的力度与研发投资之间的关系被家族控制正向调节。研究结果进一步表明，家族控制对商业秘密保护力度与研发投入关联性的正向调节作用在不同行业背景下存在差异，在高技术行业表现出较强的正向调节作用，在离散产品行业表现出较弱的正向调节作用。

Trade Secret Protection and R&D Investment of Family Firms

Family firms are known for their reluctance to invest in R&D. We show that strengthened trade secret protection is associated with higher R&D investment by family firms. More specifically, we show that the association between the strength of trade secret protection through the U.S. Uniform Trade Secrets Act and R&D investment is positively moderated by family control. Our results further show that the positive moderation of family control on the association between the strength of trade secret protection and R&D investment varies with the industry context, being stronger in high-tech industries and weaker in discrete product industries.

期刊介绍： Family Business Review (FBR) has been a refereed journal since 1988, serving as the premier scholarly publication dedicated to the study of family-controlled enterprises. It delves into the dynamics of these businesses, encompassing a range of sizes from small to very large. FBR concentrates not only on the entrepreneurial founding generation but also on family enterprises in subsequent generations, including some of the world's oldest companies. The journal also publishes interdisciplinary research covering families of wealth, family foundations, and offices.
