Evaluating the Impact of Family Presence in Ownership and Management on Financial Performance of Firms Using Matched-Pair Investigation

Abstract: ÚvodRodinná fi rma je pravděpodobně nejstarší organizační formou podnikání. Celosvětově existuje řada příkladů rodinných fi rem, které přežily desítky generací (Hutcheson, 2007; Koráb a kol., 2008). Historie českých rodinných fi rem však nebyla nikdy zmapována. Víme, že průmyslová revoluce vedla ke vzniku mnoha výrobních fi rem, které zůstaly ve vlastnictví nebo podléhaly kontrole rodiny po smrti zakladatele. Příklady takových fi rem jsou např. výrobce bylinných likérů Becher (1794), cukrářská fi rma Fiedor (1… Show more

“…The fear of reputation damage in the case of financial distress may be closely related to risk aversion and more prudent financial management. Family firms have frequently been reported to use less debt financing (Allouche et al, 2008) and to have greater liquidity (Machek and Hnilica, 2015), which increases financial security but limits growth opportunities. Just like family firms have been repeatedly found to grow less than non-family firms (Belenzon et al, 2015;Hnilica et al, 2016), it appears that eponymous firms also grow less than non-eponymous firms: they exchange "growth for glory" (Belenzon et al, 2019).…”

“…This theory is also supported by their greater liquidity. Keeping more liquid assets is a sign of more conservative financial management policy, which is typical for family firms (Allouche et al, 2008;Machek and Hnilica, 2015); greater current ratio improves the ability to settle shortterm obligations, hence reducing the risk of insolvency. However, this approach is more expensive regarding economic costs; a firm keeps more inventory than required, which increases the maintenance costs, and liquid assets generally generate a lower return on investment.…”

“…Důvodem je zejména obava ze ztráty rodinné kontroly nad firmou, stejně jako starost o reputaci rodiny [Kachaner et al, 2012;McConaughy et al, 2001]. Averze k riziku se podle většiny autorů odráží i v tom, že rodinné firmy obecně používají méně cizího kapitálu, což bylo zjištěno i v případě českých rodinných firem [Machek a Hnilica, 2015a]. Existují však i autoři, kteří prezentují opačná zjištění [Harijono, 2005;Ellul, 2008].…”

“…Family-owned enterprises play a powerful role in the world economy (Kachaner et al, 2012), and on a global level, research on family firms has increased rapidly over the past few decades. However, research on family-owned firms in the Czech Republic remains quite limited, with a few exceptions (Hanzelkova, 2004;Koráb et al, 2008;Machek and Hnilica, 2015;Odehnalová and Olševičová, 2009). We see two major research gaps in the current literature.…”
