Family businesses must generate strategies to achieve continuity in order to survive. In this sense, the designation and legitimation of leadership, as well as the desirable attributes for the successor, emerge as key factors. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the leadership types and desirable attributes chosen for the succession process. To account for the above, a questionnaire was applied to a sample of 144 executives and employees from tourist organizations of service, commerce and industry in the northwestern region of Mexico. Questionnaires were based on a Likert scale type (1 to 5), including sections about leadership (comprised by five dimensions) and the desirable attributes of the successor (comprised by two dimensions). Our results emphasize that the leadership in the first four generations (before, during and after the succession process), present a constant of importance in the presence of the types: expert, referential and laissez faire/mission and the administrative attributes. Furthemore, participatory leadership decreases and autocratic increases while the family attributes do so as they go from one successor stage to another. To enrich our study and map family businesses, we recommend the inclusion of different aspects related to the Latin American context and the generation of inferences with new elements such as motivational profiles, work stressors and interactions of Latino families, among others.

Family enterprises have very peculiar characteristics, such as shared identity, privacy, very close and emotional relationships; however, they also face various problems related to the internal and external barriers in innovation. Among the internal barriers are the excessive risk, lack of trained personnel, high costs, and lack of expert staff; therefore, it has an impact on the time of innovation, and the organizational culture must be added as a fundamental factor. As a problem statement, the question that was generated was: What is the relationship and influence of the organizational culture with the innovation that is applied by family enterprises in Cajeme, Mexico? Consequently, the objective of the study is to analyze the relationship and influence of the organizational culture with the innovation that is applied by the family enterprises in Cajeme, Mexico in order to generate new cultural models. The proposed hypotheses are: H1. The organizational culture is positively and significantly related with the innovation that is applied by family enterprises; H2. The organizational culture has a positive and significant influence on the innovation that is applied by family enterprises.

Women are under-represented in high-level management and administrative positions in family businesses. To date, the research on career motivation remains in the shadow of research on gender barriers. By acknowledging the relation between the two, it is proposed to look holistically at the problem and to empirically examine the relation between motivation, barriers, and position of daughters in family business. By conducting SEM analysis, it was found that motivation to act ethically is positively associated with high positions and that barriers “specific to family business” are negatively related to high positions. This article validates two scales and makes methodological contributions to the stream of research on daughters in family business that to date relies mainly on qualitative studies.

Empirical evidence on productivity differences between family owned and non-family owned firms is still sparse and reveals conflicting results. Unlike previous studies, we analyse the effect firm´s life cycle on productivity using a large sample of non-listed firms. Furthermore, we consider a model with heterogeneity of inputs between the two types of firms and addressing possible endogeneity problems. We conclude that there are no significant differences in productivity between family and non-family firms, for both startup/growth and mature stages of life cycle. Furthermore, labour seems to be the main determinant of family firms’ productivity, which is especially evident for firms in the mature stage.

Este trabajo explora en que medida el comportamiento exportador de estas empresas puede ser explicado a traves de modelos incrementales, siguiendo el modelo propuesto por Cavusgil (1980). Utilizando datos de la Encuesta de Estrategias Empresariales, se analiza un panel de empresas para el periodo temporal 1994-2005. Los resultados sugieren la aceptacion del modelo incremental de Cavusgil para explicar la conducta exportadora de las Pymes espanolas con ciertas limitaciones. Respecto de las empresas familiares, los resultados indican el bajo compromiso internacional de las Empresas Familiares frente a las no familiares, asi como una conducta exportadora diferente a la de las Pymes. Se puede concluir que las Empresas Familiares manufactureras espanolas no siguen un comportamiento en su proceso exportador que pueda ser identificado como un proceso incremental.

Family business groups are dominant economic actors in emerging economies and play an important role in economic development and globalization efforts of their countries. This study reviews the literature on internationalization of family business groups by conducting a content analysis on 80 articles published in selected categories of SSCI journals between 2000 and 2015. Each article was coded along six dimensions and a model synthesizing the past findings was developed. Gaps in the literature were identified and avenues for further research were proposed, pointing out to variables and theories that may be considered.
