Succession process is a significant matter that is vital to the sustainability of a family firm. Families are generous in involving the offspring(s) into the family business so as to fulfill inter-generational succession. In this paper, we concentrate on the issue on the results of the involvement of multiple offsprings in family firms. By using data collected from China listed family firms between 2009 and 2015, we reveal that there exist contingency effects of the involvement of multiple offsprings on risk taking in different phrases. The involvement of new offspring(s) that leads the sibling rivalry to happen would increase risk taking of the family firm in a short-term. While for those family firms in which offsprings serve together as brothers in arms, risk taking is even lower than that of family firms with no more than one offspring. Our findings have managerial implications for dealing with succession process and maintaining sustainability of family businesses.
