The Role of Family Business and Its Distinctive Characteristic Behavior in Industrial Activity
研究西班牙食品饮料行业发现，家族企业比非家族企业更难在相同时间内达到同等规模，原因包括风险偏好低、高股权控制和对外封闭。
This article presents the findings of a research study conducted in the Spanish food and beverage industry. The objective of the research was to expand upon and clarify the knowledge available on the role family businesses play in the economy and to understand the possible behavioral differences when we compare them to non-family businesses. The results show that the family business has more difficulty in reaching the same size as a non-family business within a similar time span. Reduced risk levels, high equity control, and a tendency to be closed to outsiders are possible causes of the difficulties family businesses experience in maintaining faster growth rates.
