This paper conducted a critical literature review of the family business research in the mainland China from 1988 to 2007, discussing the achievements and shortcomings over the past two decades and pointing out the futural research trend. We first made a panoramic analysis of the overall development of the family business research in the mainland China through scanning journal articles, excellent dissertations, published books, research institutions and national grants. Then this study reviewed the topics and research methods of the 1824 articles which we got with the key word "family business" by searching the top tiers in the CNKI data base. Based on the critical review, the authors maintained that most of the topics are utilitarianism-orientated, and there lack of empirical study. Finally, they proposed constructive suggestions on the futural development of the family business research. |
