Family businesses have been an important part of the economy in
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and in the Chinese diaspora, and,
since the reforms, in mainland China itself. Some people have
argued that the success of Chinese family businesses occurs because
of the special characteristics and approach of such businesses.
This book examines the nature of Chinese family business and the
key issues involved by exploring in detail the case of a leading
Hong Kong jewellery company which was established in the early
1960s and which has grown to become one of the biggest jewellery
manufacturers, exporters, and retailers in post-war Hong Kong. The
book considers the motivations of Chinese people to set up their
own businesses, outlining the strategies adopted, including the
strategies for raising capital, and the qualities of successful
Chinese entrepreneurs. It discusses the management of the company,
including relations between family members, profit sharing and
succession planning, and assesses how conflict and crises are coped
with and overcome. It charts the evolution of the company, looking
at how it has been transformed into a listed corporation. The book
concludes by arguing for the importance of studying Chinese family
businesses culturally.
