Family Ownership and R&D Intensity in Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Firms (2015, background): “The sign of the effect of family ownership on profitability is yet to be defined (e.g., Villalonga and Amit, 2006), especially in the context of SMEs (De Massis et al., forthcoming a; Sciascia and Mazzola, 2008).”
Advancing the Field of Family Business Research: Further Testing the Measurement Properties of the F-PEC (2010, result): “The first revolves around our response rate, which was a mere 2.7%, which was consistent with some other studies of family businesses (cf. Sciascia & Mazzola, 2008).”
The Internationalization of Family Firms (2014, unknown): “The findings concerning this type of involvement are mixed, but predominantly negative (e.g., Casillas & Acedo, 2005; Cerrato & Piva, 2010; Olivares-Mesa & Cabrera-Suárez, 2006; Sciascia & Mazzola, 2008; Yunshi, Lin, & Kuei-Yang, 2011).”
The internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises: the effect of family management, human capital and foreign ownership (2010, background): “In the analysis this number is calculated not as an absolute, but rather a relative value, as the ratio between the number of managers belonging to the owning family and the total number of managers (Westhead and Howorth 2006; Sciascia and Mazzola 2008).”
Family Ownership and Control, the Presence of Other Large Shareholders, and Firm Performance: Further Evidence (2011, background): “There are also relevant articles that consider the effect of family ownership and/or family control on performance for private family firms (Sciascia & Mazzola, 2008; Westhead & Howorth, 2006), but we chose to focus only on listed family firms.”
Influence of Family Involvement in Management and Ownership on Firm Performance: Evidence From Poland (2010, background): “Alternatively, inferior performance of family managers as compared to the performance of nonfamily managers is also possible (Lubatkin, Schulze, Ling, & Dino, 2005; Sciascia & Mazzola, 2008).”
Does Family Involvement in Management Reduce the Risk of Business Failure? The Moderating Role of Entrepreneurial Orientation (2016, methodology): “Additionally, the presence of family managers, in particular, gives rise to a distinct set of family-centered goals and increases the overlap between the family and the firm, thereby upping the chances that firm behavior will gravitate around nonmonetary objectives (Sciascia & Mazzola, 2008).”
