Abstract: It is imperative to aggressively advocate for and transmit the ideas of corporate social responsibility as Chinese family enterprises transition into the phase of corporate inheritance. This study conducts a thorough examination of existing literature to elucidate the concept and model of western corporate social responsibility. It also analyses the current state of Chinese corporate social responsibility and highlights the fulfilment of corporate social responsibility by private enterprises. Furthermore, it specifically investigates the significance of family enterprises in promoting and preserving the culture of corporate responsibility. Lastly, it delves into the correlation between corporate social responsibility and family enterprises. This study presents the process of transmission and inheritance of Chinese family firms, focusing on the influence of Chinese traditional culture, the original purpose of enterprise development, and enterprise image.
