摘要: 研究家族二代所有权、家族二代管理权对家族企业国际化的影响以及代际权威和制度距离在其中的调节效应,利用2020年对中国7个省市253份家族企业问卷调查数据进行回归分析。结果表明:第一,家族二代所有权对家族企业国际化深度、国际化广度具有显著的U型影响,家族二代管理权对家族企业国际化深度、国际化广度具有显著的正向影响。第二,代际权威、正式制度距离、非正式制度距离削弱了家族二代所有权、家族二代管理权对家族企业国际化深度、国际化广度的影响。进一步研究发现,国际市场知识在家族二代所有权、家族二代管理权与家族企业国际化深度、国际化广度之间起中介作用。本文丰富和发展了家族企业代际传承与国际化关系研究成果,对于理解家族企业在代际传承过程中如何做出国际化战略决策也具有一定的理论价值和现实意义。

Abstract: This paper aims to study the effects of the second-generation ownership and management on family firm internationalization, and the moderating effects of intergenerational authority and institutional distance in this relationship. A questionnaire survey of 253 family firms in seven provinces or municipalities of China in 2020 is used to test the proposed hypotheses empirically. The results are as follows. First, the second-generation ownership has a significant U-shape effect on internationalization depth and breadth, and the second-generation management has a significant positive effect on internationalization depth and breadth in family firms. Second, intergenerational authority, formal institutional distance and informal institutional distance weaken the effects of the second-generation ownership and management on internationalization depth and breadth in family firms. Further study finds that international market knowledge mediates the relationships among the second-generation ownership, the second-generation management and internationalization depth and breadth in family firms. This paper enriches and develops the literature on relationship between intergenerational succession and family firm internationalization, which also has both theoretical and practical significance in understanding how family firms make international strategic choices in the process of intergenerational succession.
