The family firm characteristics chosen in this study are family firm status, share overhang, and family members on board.

A total of 96 firms which conducted IPO activity in Bursa Malaysia from year 2008 to 2014 are selected as the sample. The collected data were analyzed by using several data analysis techniques in order to answer the research questions. |
