Research Questions:

- Can nonfamily members in family firms reproduce FSC? If so, how does the bonding social capital compare between family and nonfamily firms?
- Does the bonding social capital of all three types of actors (family and nonfamily members of family businesses and members of nonfamily businesses) contribute equally to a firm’s performance?
