Trade Secret Protection and R&D Investment of Family Firms
Family firms are known for their reluctance to invest in R&D. We show that strengthened trade secret protection is associated with higher R&D investment by family firms. More specifically, we show that the association between the strength of trade secret protection through the U.S. Uniform Trade Secrets Act and R&D investment is positively moderated by family control. Our results further show that the positive moderation of family control on the association between the strength of trade secret protection and R&D investment varies with the industry context, being stronger in high-tech industries and weaker in discrete product industries.
期刊介绍：
Family Business Review (FBR) has been a refereed journal since 1988, serving as the premier scholarly publication dedicated to the study of family-controlled enterprises. It delves into the dynamics of these businesses, encompassing a range of sizes from small to very large. FBR concentrates not only on the entrepreneurial founding generation but also on family enterprises in subsequent generations, including some of the world's oldest companies. The journal also publishes interdisciplinary research covering families of wealth, family foundations, and offices.
