Firstly, this paper builds a theoretical model for contractual governance of family business, which based on inside contract, outside contract and the macro-environment of contractual governance. And then, taking the implicit contract and explicit contract as clues, it studies the dynamic changes of contractual governance during the growth family business. Research shows the 0bvious tendency of implicit contract governance, and emphasises on family governance.
