Why is it important?

The studies of family businesses are important, transcendent and increasingly necessary, whether they are about the analysis of succession, conflict, power, leadership, communication or innovation; among the reasons for this, just to mention one aspect, there are some consanguine actors that have a continuous participation in the construction of their knowledge that are shared from generation to generation.

Perspectives

These family businesses also maintain a direct relationship with the environment around them, in such a way that they extend their scope of action since as a family, they belong to the type of social organization where their interest is to strengthen links for the benefit of the community or society in which they are. Puga (2006), cited by Meira and Carvalhal (2013), states that family businesses are directly responsible for social development, generating opportunities for inclusion in society through the creation of approximately 75% of new jobs and maintenance of 85% of existing jobs.
