Family and non-family business behaviour in the wine sector: A comparative study

The Speed of the Internationalisation Process and the Institutional Networks of Family SMEs in the DOC Rioja Wine Industry

“…However, we consider that this sample is valuable in explaining why some family firms exhibit divergent behaviour with regard to the speed of internationalisation for two reasons. First, the use of this homogenous, industry-specific sample permits us to concentrate on the more firm-specific variables, and second, the research on family businesses in the wine sector is practically non-existent (Soler et al, 2017). Moreover, we conduct a cross-sectional study due to a lack of longitudinal information, which presents the disadvantage of not capturing the dynamic nature of the hypotheses tested in this study.…”

Comparative analysis of the financial results-equity in family firms and non-family firms: the case of the service sector in Malaga (Spain)

“…The importance of comparative studies on family enterprises has been described extensively by diverse studies (Casillas and Acid, 2007;Chrisman, J. J., Kellermanns, Chan and Liano, 2010;Benavides-Velasco, Quintana-García and Guzmán-Parra, 2013). There are a lot of notable studies where this topic is highlighted within the actual environmental analysis of family firms (Casillas, Navarrese and Menéndez, 2013;Omaña andBriceño, 2013 to Occur rarely, Gemar andGuerrero-Murillo, 2017). Furthermore, various studies look at family enterprises from a financial perspective, which is also a topic that continues to interest investigators at present by highlighting some examples, we can indicate work like that of Arosa, Iturralde and Maseda (2010); Aparicio, Basco, Iturralde and Maseda, (2017); Di Pietro, Palacín-Sánchez and Roldán (2018) or Rakotoarivelo, Zaraté and Kilgour (2018).…”

“…L'estructura i la forma de govern de les empreses familiars ha estat àmpliament estudiada amb la finalitat de trobar diferències enfront de les no familiars i identificar factors propis que afecten la rendibilitat (Mazzi, 2011). El fet de ser empresa familiar pot intervenir a favor de la rendibilitat pels menors costos d'agència que suposen la seva activitat (Soler et al, 2017). Però, alhora, la menor grandària juga en contra de l'operativitat en el mercat exterior obligant a les petites empreses a agrupar-se o a crear aliances i marques col•lectives per a millorar la seva competitivitat (Fishman et al, 2018).…”
