Essays on family firm decision-making, performance, and valuation
- In my doctoral dissertation, I conduct research on family firm decision-making, performance, and valuation. In particular, I explore (i) the role stocks—in contrast to flow-based theories used by extant research (i.e., prospect theory and its derivatives)—in share repurchasing decisions of family firms by drawing on motivation-opportunity-ability theory of behavior and the developed stock-based view on family firm decision-making, (ii) the moderating effect of national culture (i.e., the degree of masculinity) on the effects of board diversity on family firm performance by drawing on upper echelons theory, and (iii) the effects of non-family-managed family firms on firm valuation in the acquisition context by drawing on signaling theory.
