Family firms are generally reluctant to participate in acquisitions because of the aversion to socioemotional wealth loss. This work on family firms in China shows that in contrast to non-Buddhist counterparts, Buddhist family leaders are more likely to engage in acquisitions as their Buddhist beliefs mitigate their concerns about the loss of socioemotional wealth and promote a growth orientation.
