This article aims at contributing to the study of the factors conducive to a successful intergenerational transfer within a family business, understood as that which favors the longevity of the family firms. The literature has pointed out how such transmissions tend to generate tensions that can threaten the survival of the family firms and business family cohesion.
An analysis is made of how a long-lived family business made use of accounting information during a process of inter-generational transfer. The case studied presents evidence on how the trust in accounting information was used to facilitate this process. It is concluded that trust in accounting information contributed to the longevity of family firm and family cohesion. In other words, it guaranteed the preservation of its socio-emotional wealth.

This paper analyses the relative performance of clustered and non-clustered companies during the different phases of the cluster life cycle. It starts by explaining the location of most of the Portuguese cork manufacturing companies in Santa Maria da Feira, a small county in the north of the country, whereas the bulk of cork is produced in the South. The historical roots of the Feira cluster are examined, as well as the identification of its life cycle phases. The performance of clustered and non-clustered companies is compared using labour productivity data over a long time span of several decades. This exercise illustrates the crucial importance of history for the understanding of cluster dynamics, as well as many other (evolutionary) economic phenomena.

This paper defends the thesis that around flour businesses, in the middle decades of the nineteenth century in Old Castile, companies emerged that were comparable in size, organization and investment propensity of their owners. The sector was characterized, from a business point of view, by high horizontal and vertical concentration. That is, flour companies were strong and highly diversified but they maintained their family nature. There were no major distinctions between business and family. They were therefore very vulnerable, which is why they fell victim to the 1864 financial crisis. However, their mere existence belies the idea that modern forms of capital groupings and competition were inexistent since they acted as market suppliers during the first industrial revolution in this region.

The present article aims to analyse the technical and industrial evolution in Asturian naval construction and to study the entrepreneurial shift in the sector. The latter factor is to be viewed as directly connected with the dismantling of the ‘big’ naval dockyards (Cantábrico, Riera, Duro Felguera, Juliana…), justly to be considered pioneers in industrialisation, and their substitution in the 1970's by two ‘small’ family firms (Gondán and Amón) in the west region who find their roots in traditional shipbuilding. This substitution was followed by changes in the productive model, markets and growth strategy.
Public and private firm archives, though fragmented and poorly preserved, together with unexploited sources (such as registration lists in the marine offices), offer a new and long range perspective on the sector, which will ultimately allow new studied on specific and singular entrepreneurial ‘cases’.
