The evolution of family business in China: an institutional perspective
by Yong Wang; Rong Pei; Yanhong Liu
International Journal of Management Practice (IJMP), Vol. 7, No. 2, 2014

Abstract: This paper investigates the emerging family business sector in China. Specifically, the objectives of the paper are threefold: (a) to explore how family businesses are catalysed by structural changes in the socio-economic environment; (b) to examine policy initiatives sketched by the government in supporting family firms; and (c) to analyse the impact of extant policies on family business development. An explorative methodology is adopted where secondary data pertaining to family business emergence and development are employed. The paper claims that notwithstanding the economic reform in the past three decades has galvanised gigantic momentum from the private sector, new tailored policy initiatives are required to uphold the entrepreneurial impetus. With the service of prudently contemplated policies, the entrepreneurial venturing may lead to more success.
