Most firms around the world are family-owned. A stronger long-term orientation is considered being an explanation as to why family firms might perform better than comparable non-family firms. So far, however, there is little systematic empirical evidence on the long-term orientation of family firms. This dissertation aims to close this gap using large-scale quantitative data to analyze whether and under which circumstances family firms follow a more long-term-oriented corporate strategy than non-family firms. The dissertation focuses on aspects of long-term orientation in innovation management, human resource management, and executive compensation.
