摘要：
Drawing on insights from the upper echelon theory, this article aims to examine the impact of family involve-ment in management on process innovation within family firms, considering the mediating role of R&D collaboration with suppliers and the moderating role of technology protection. Conducting a panel data analysis on 5,332 firm-year observations of Spanish manufacturing family firms for the period 2007-2016, we find that the negative relationship between family involvement in management and process innovation is mediated by R&D collaboration with suppliers. Furthermore, we find that the negative effect of family involvement in management on R&D collaboration with suppliers and ultimately on process innovation is mitigated by tech-nology protection and even becomes positive for high levels of technology protection.
