The findings show that under the combined action of three governmententerprises relationship factors of family relationship accumulation, individual traits of entrepreneur and entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial family businesses would realize the acquisition and maintenance of sustained competitive advantages though applying interpersonal skill with government to develop favorable environment interface. Meanwhile, the enhancement of one single essential factor is inadequate to establish longterm effective interpersonal skill with government.
