摘要

Family businesses are pivotal to the global economy, contributing significantly to job creation and innovation. However, their unique dynamics necessitate a distinct approach to corporate governance to ensure sustainability and long-term performance. The dimensions of family business and their interplay with effective corporate governance practices include family involvement, governance structure, succession planning, socioemotional wealth, and stakeholder engagement. The level of family engagement often shapes governance frameworks, leading to the necessity for clear delineation of roles among family and non-family members. Effective corporate governance in this context promotes transparency, accountability, and balanced decision-making, fostering trust among stakeholders. The governance structure within family businesses varies significantly compared to non-family firms. It typically encompasses family councils, advisory boards, and formalized governance policies. This structure is critical in aligning family interests with business objectives and mitigating potential conflicts. Strong governance frameworks empower family businesses to navigate challenges while preserving family legacy and values. Succession planning is another vital dimension that impacts both family business continuity and governance effectiveness. The lack of a structured succession plan can lead to uncertainties that jeopardize business stability. This research underscores the importance of proactive succession strategies that not only prepare the next generation of leaders but also reinforce governance mechanisms, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in governance practices.
