| Summary: | This study examines the role of ethnicity and kinship in the economic adaptation of Chinese family firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. The development and operation of these Chinese firms are the result of a complex interactive process involving ethnic resources - such as traditional values, kinship relations, and information networks - as well as structural opportunities and constraints.
