In the dual context of digital transformation and intergenerational inheritance of family enterprises, digital transformation, balanced intergenerational inheritance and de-familization model will jointly contribute to the performance of family enterprises. This paper takes Chinese A-share-listed family enterprises as the research objective. Stata17.0 statistical software is used to describe and regress the data of family enterprises in the fiscal years from 2015 to 2020. The results show that digital transformation has a negative impact on the performance of family enterprises, but the balance between intergenerational inheritance and de-familization will have a positive impact on the performance of family enterprises.
