The increasing pervasiveness of technology-driven firms that offer financial services has led to growing pressure on traditional banks to modernize their core business activities and services. Many banks tackle the challenges of digitalization by cooperating with startup firms that offer technology-driven financial services and novel service packag...
This meta-analysis of 142 studies from 36 countries examines how the institutional environment moderates the relationship between family involvement and firm performance. Specifically, we investigate performance differences between family and nonfamily firms while using property rights protection, institutional stability, and a country’s regime typ...
Institutional dynamics and uncertainty in a country are crucial considerations for investors when searching for venture capital opportunities. International entrepreneurship literature has focused on the impact of unidimensional measures of institutions, despite that institutional environments undergo substantial and continuous changes in multiple...
The purpose of this multi-level meta-analytic study is to examine the impact of the financial environment on general performance differences between family firms and non-family firms. The considerable cross-country variability of meta-analyses focusing on this relationship suggests noticeable differences between firm-and country-based characteristi...
This paper offers a multilevel meta-analytic study of the relationship between business diversification and firm performance, encompassing 462 primary studies that cover 40 different countries. Whereas our work confirms the generally negative relationship of prior meta-analyses, this study further reveals considerable variability between the type o...
In times of digitalization, established firms operating in the financial services sector increasingly form alliances with start-up companies to satisfy the customers´ demand for rapid innovation and cope with the growing dynamics of markets.

Our findings support the expectation that family firm characteristics are positively related to firm performance. We trace the...

Banks attempt to confront the challenges of digitalization by cooperating with fintechs in various forms. In this paper, we investigate the factors that drive banks to fo...
In times of digitalization, the need for alliances among firms increases due to higher complexity and greater dynamics. Digital innovation leads to challenges for incumbent firms in adapting to changing rules set by new competitors and higher customer expec-tations.

An increasing number of banks is attempting to meet the new requirements by interacting with fintechs. In this paper, we identify which drivers play a role in both the occurrence of bank-fintech interact...
Questions
Question (1)
Hey,
I am computing a Meta-Analysis to find out whether Family Firms or Non-Family Firms are more successful.
Unfortunately, most primary studies only report panel data. They report the Number of Firms AND the Number of firm-year observations.
Which one of these should I use as my sample size? My goal is to compute the mean correlation effect size.
One study (van Essen, M., Carney, M., Gedajlovic, E. R. and Heugens, P. P. M. A. R. (2015), How does Family Control Influence Firm Strategy and Performance? A Meta-Analysis of US Publicly Listed Firms. Corporate Governance: An International Review, 23: 3–24. doi: 10.1111/corg.12080) obviously used the number of firm-year observations. Another (E.H. O’Boyle Jr., J.M. Pollack, M.W. Rutherford: Exploring the relation between family involvement and firms’ financial performance: A meta-analysis of main and moderator effects
Journal of Business Venturing, 27 (1) (2012), pp. 1–18) used the number of firms.
Thanks in advance.
Todor
