摘要
This study draws on the insights of institutional theory and the environmental contingency perspective to explore family firm leaders’ approaches toward R&D investment in China. Our sample consisted of 577 manufacturing firms listed on the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange over a period of three years (2013–2015), representing a total of 1731 observations. Our findings show that family firms tend to invest less in R&D than their counterparts among non-family firms. Interestingly, this negative impact on R&D investment grows stronger under conditions of high technological turbulence and high government policy turbulence, but not under conditions of high market turbulence.
