This research aims to examine the factors that moderate the effect of founding-family firms on performance. Moderating variables include firm reputation, risk-taking behavior, agency costs of managers-shareholders, and agency costs of majority-minority shareholders.

This research captures when founding-family firms can improve performance or experience performance reduction.
