tation. In fact, we do observe a negative, significant coefficient<br />
for first- and second-generation family ownership in the<br />
fully specified model <strong>of</strong> table 4, indicating that the presence<br />

our predicted negative stance <strong>of</strong> such owners toward a<br />
shareholder value orientation.<br />
