Edition changes: Licensed narrative text edition. Original headings, paragraphs and references are preserved with normalized whitespace and layout. Figures, tables, display equations and separately licensed third-party material are not reproduced; use the linked original full text for those elements and definitive pagination. This is an attributed republication, not newly conducted research.
Evidence limits: Adjacent evidence from Chinese family operating companies, not directly studied family offices. Observational design and proxy measures limit causal inference and transfer to other jurisdictions; no proposed companion controls were tested. The split-sample narrative contains inconsistent significance wording; source text is retained without silent correction and precise subgroup significance should be checked against the original table.

Publisher article content and Crossref relation, update-to and updated-by fields; no updates identified. Bounded checks, not exhaustive registry clearance or human review. Checked 2026-10-26.
