In order to survive, family businesses must put in place strategies to achieve some continuity; therefore, the designation and legitimation of leadership, as well as the desirable attributes for the successor, emerge as the main strategies to develop. The objective of the present study is to analyze the types of leadership and the chosen desirable attributes for the succession process / successor. In order to achieve it, 144 questionnaires to executives and employees from tourist organizations of service, trade and industry were collected in the northwestern region of Mexico. It was based on a Likert scale type (1 to 5), including sections about leadership (constituted by five dimensions) and the desirable attributes of the successor (constituted by two dimensions). The main findings emphasize the leadership, within the family enterprise before, during and after the succession process, present a constant of importance in the presence of the different types: expert, referential and laissez faire/mission and the administrative attributes during the first four generations. On the other hand, the participatory leadership decreases and the autocratic increases. To enrich the subject of study, it is recommended to include different aspects related to the Latin American context and the generation of inferences with new elements, such as motivational profiles, labor stressors, interactions of Latino families, among others. All of this in order to try to map the family business.
Recibido el 29 de octubre de 2019; aceptado el 23 de marzo de 2020 ResumenEl debate del "ser" producto de la naturaleza o el entorno social, aún permanece. En ese sentido, el ser emprendedor puede deberse o no a un mecanismo de formación estructurado. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo es examinar en el ámbito universitario el papel de la educación emprendedora y su incidencia en la intención de emprender; para ello, se realizó una búsqueda documental dónde se recopilaron 190 artículos de investigación, integrando un análisis bibliométrico de 101 de ellos, procedentes cuatro bases de datos. Se determinaron discrepancias entre el género y los aspectos contextuales. Asimismo, la productividad de los temas en cuestión resultó ser de mayor relevancia en inglés; con mayores publicaciones europeas que sobrepasa a las del continente americano. En cuanto a los hallazgos, elementos endógenos y exógenos influencian la intención, refutando la adoctrinada perspectiva del emprendimiento como atributo innato y mostrando elementos desarrollables para forjar determinadas cualidades.
