Long-term orientation is often regarded as the reason why family firms excel non-family firms. However, there are very few empirical studies. This article examined whether and when family firms were more long-term oriented, employing 1980 firms from Chinese Private Enterprise Survey. The results show that family ownership does not necessarily lead to firm long-term oriented behaviors. Only in those family firms with succession intention and greater family control intention, family ownership could significantly promote more long-term oriented investments.
