| description | This study investigates whether Malaysian family-controlled firms create firm value when undertaking corporate acquisitions and which family-specific traits determine this value.

Inferences drawn in this study are based on 267-sample corporate acquisition announcements performed by publicly listed Malaysian family-controlled firms across a 10-year sample period from the years 2002 to 2011. |
