Abstract

This paper examines the resilience of Chinese family businesses (CFBs) by analyzing their financial performance during different economic cycles, with a focus on the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Characterized by concentrated ownership, long-term orientation, and a focus on family reputation, CFBs respond to crises differently from other types of enterprises in China. Through a paired-sample analysis, the research evaluates their profitability and financial structure during the financial crisis. The results indicate that CFBs exhibit stronger financial performance and resilience during recovery phases but face challenges with higher financial leverage and liquidity management during economic downturns. This paper provides insights into the organizational resilience of CFBs, offering guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and investors to support CFBs through targeted policies and strategic investments.
