"Are family managers agents or stewards? An exploratory study in
privately held family firms," with his colleagues Drs. Jim Chrisman
and Franz Kellermanns from Mississippi State University and Dr. Jess
Chua from the University of Calgary. Using a sample of 208 small

behave as agents rather than stewards and that family business owners use
these mechanisms to improve the firm’s performance. This paper was
also presented at a Conference in Family Research in Canada, 2006

of Business in Spring 2007.
