在家族企业中，因为家族意图的存在，学界一般认为企业家在企业治理方面会存在情感性偏向。但家族企业是情感系统和理性系统的矛盾综合体，我们不应轻视企业家理性思维的存在，所以本项目将讲求整体性、辩证性和矛盾相生相克的中国传统中庸思维引入家族意图与家族企业代理人治理模式的关系模型。通过这一新视角，分析企业家为了实现家族意图，如何在家族与企业、家族愿景与企业目标、家族情感关系与企业理性治理之间，如何在不同类型代理人和不同类型治理手段的复杂机制之间实现有效平衡。同时，可以剖析家族企业中多种代理人治理模式共存，彼此之间的相生相克关系如何通过交互作用影响企业绩效。从矛盾视角研究组织是方法论层面上的一次革新，国际学界逐渐认识到东方的中庸思维能够深化源自西方思维模式的矛盾论分析框架。中庸之道是中国商业文化与管理智慧的核心，受到西方学界和业界的极大重视，正如"中西方碰撞"成为了2011美国管理学年会的主题。

Family intention makes a distinction between family firm and non-family firm,which is a new and attracted concept in this field. In this study,we build a model to analysis the relationship between the family intention and agent governance mode in family firm. And even more interesting, we try to make an exploitation based the paradox framework. In the academic revolution of "West meets East", many of Chinese traditional ideology and culture have been applied to the development of modern theory, which emphasizes transformation of yin and yang, integrity and dialectical modes of Zhongyong rational thinking stlye being of great concern. Though widely accepted and practiced in China as an indigenous philosophical concept, there has been little academic research.In the strict sense, on the term of Zhongyong, let alone quantitative research. Zhongyong is a pattern of thinking which can guide people to gain deeper understanding of the problem they encounter in their daily life, and help people to figure out better solutions. Zhongyong believes that the purpose behind any action is to reach a dynamic and harmonious state, so individuals holding Zhongyong thoughts follow certain thinking principles, pursuit of harmony, holistic view, appropriateness, balance, etc..Family firm as family and business fit body is the most entangled corporate form, emotion and reason interwoven is the governance distinction between family firms and other types of enterprises. By the paradox framework and through empirical studies, we hope to research the moderation of Zhongyong rationality thinking style in the contradictory relationship between family intention and the corporate governance structure. There are two kinds of agents in family firm: family employee and non-family employee, and there also two kinds of governance method: contract governance and relational governance generally. For the family intention, how did the family firm owner balanced between the employees and governance methods? What effect will occurs when non-family employee coming into family firm? Scholars have been unable to reach agreement, positive, negative, or no effect. For the view of Zhongyong thinking style, the contradictories are co-exist and co-contain. This study points out that, there is actually the problem of how to evaluate the interaction of the governance mode to family employee and non-family employee..To conclude, we believe that Chinese family firms' governance mode is not a logoscentrism in an extreme state, but a combination of "jing" and "quan" principles in Zhongyong rationality. Entrepreneurs in family firms endeavor to maintain a delicate balance between insiders and outsiders, maximizing the two parties' interests by taking into consideration both "emotion and rationality". The differences in governance mode choice just shows the difference between western philosophy and Confucianism philosophy in treating with contraditions.
