Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is widely thought that family control loosens as firms grow larger over time. Our analysis, based on a comprehensive sample of exchange listed family firms in post-war Japan, challenges this conventional view. We document that it is common that families keep control over board and management even when their ownership stake is largely diluted. In the second, family and financial constraints jointly determine the dynamic pattern of ownership dilution and family control. The family’s intangible assets such as reputation and competent family human resources correlate with family longevity.
