中文摘要：

家族力量的存在让家族企业具有区别于非家族的属性特征,创新是家族企业为获取和保持竞争优势所采取的重要战略行为。然而,家族系统对企业创新的影响长期没有得到应有的重视,以往研究着重考察了企业边界之内的家族力量,而对企业之外的家族力量缺少必要的关注。为了更好地理解家族系统在企业创新中发挥的作用,本文构建了包括家族凝聚力、适应力和企业创新的理论模型,根据家庭关系研究成果,探讨了家族关系对家族企业创新的影响。基于542份来自全国工商联有效调研样本的实证研究结果表明,家族凝聚力与家族企业创新具有倒U型关系,家族适应力与家族企业创新具有显著的正向关系。

英文摘要：

Family firm has its unique characters for family forces. Innovation is the important strategic behavior to acquire and keep competitive advantage. However,the influence of family system to family firm innovation has been ignored for a long time. Previous researches emphasize the importance of family involvement within family firm and lack of the attention on family forces which is existing besides the family firm. To better understanding the function of family system on innovation,we built the theoretical model for family cohesion,adaptability and innovation items. Based on the researches of family relationship,this article explores the impact of family relationship on family firm innovation. The results from the 542 questionnaires of ACFIC data support these hypotheses. First,an inverted U- shaped relationship exists between family cohesion and family firm innovation. Second,family adaptability has a consistently positive impact on family firm innovation.
