Why ‘Family’ CEOs Think Differently

Founder-CEOs and CEOs related to the founder see the world differently than CEOs of non-family firms, and they pursue different strategies, according to new research from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, we invited William Mullins to talk about this new research. Mullins is an assistant professor of finance. His research interests include empirical corporate finance and entrepreneurship and he currently teaches a course on corporate financial strategy.
