Literature Review• (Weber 1951, Hajnal 1982)Family loyalty and obligations took precedence over
other loyalties and obligations, thus, the Chinese extended family tended to dilute individual incentives to work, save, and invest.
• Whyte (1995) observes that despite tremendous changes, such as the shift from the extended to the nuclear family and the dismantled organizational structure of the lineage system, some features of Chinese families persisted, such as loyalty to the larger kin groups and sacrifice of personal interests for the sake of the family.
• Gorriz and Fumas (1996) have studied family-owned firms in Spain. They used both productivity and profitability as measures of firm performance. They found that on an average, family firms have higher productivity than non-family-owned firms, but they did not find any difference in profitability.
• (Fukuyama 1995) Chinese business continues to be based on family ties. The Chinese family provides the social capital with which to start up new businesses, but it also prevents them from evolving into durable, large-scale institutions.

Significance of the Study• Study reveals the association between family firms, corporate governance and
performance, which has been identified for public firms, persists in private firms.
• The study focuses on the difference between if family-owned firms are more productive than non family business in Zhejiang province due to resource scarcity and environmental dynamism.
• The study also helps learn about the proportion of shares owned by the largest family shareholder doesn’t harm the performance of family-owned firms.
• The study is also done to see whether there exists statistically significant relationship between CEO duality and performance of family-owned firms.
• And also the study is done to check if nepotism is negatively associated with family-owned firm performance.

Regression EquationMultivariate Regression with Cross-Section Data
ln Y = ln A +γfam +α ln L + β ln K + δX + ε
Where,Y = Sales or Value Added
fam = Dummie Variable (fam = 1 if family business & 0 otherwise)
L = Labour
K = Capital
α /β = Corresponding Elasticity
