Abstract(s)
A importância das empresas familiares é reconhecida na literatura, bem como as suas
características únicas. Embora tenham vantagens como a adaptabilidade estratégica ou foco
no longo prazo, também enfrenta desafios como a tendência para menores recursos ou
potenciais disputas família-empresa, o que poderá interferir com as suas operações e
atividades de empreendedorismo. Estes desafios poderão ser ainda mais evidentes em países
em desenvolvimento. Esta investigação evidencia a importância de analisar simultaneamente
elementos internos e externos de empresas familiares em países em desenvolvimento, uma
vez que a sua cultura organizacional poderá impulsionar o empreendedorismo e as limitações
de recursos poderão ser minimizadas ou ultrapassadas através de redes. Deste modo, este
estudo analisa o impacto de laços internos – em particular a cultura organizacional – e
externos – laços de rede externos – na atividade empreendedora das empresas familiares no
Equador. Com base em dados de empresas familiares do Equador recolhidos via questionário
e analisados com SEM-PLS, o estudo conclui que a cultura interna da organização, marcada
por valores familiares e práticas de gestão desempenha um papel essencial na capacidade
destas empresas para serem empreendedoras. Adicionalmente, as empresas familiares
Equatorianas beneficiam dos laços de rede com a comunidade, mas não com as ligações com
o mercado ou o governo. A investigação oferece implicações significativas para a gestão das
empresas familiares nas economias em desenvolvimento, sublinhando a importância de
reforçar tanto a cultura empresarial interna como as relações externas para promover um
empreendedorismo sustentável.
The importance of family businesses is recognized in the literature, as well as their unique characteristics. While they have advantages such as strategic adaptability and a long-term focus, they also face challenges, including a tendency for fewer resources and potential family-business disputes, which may interfere with their operations and entrepreneurial activities. These challenges may be even more evident in developing countries. This research highlights the importance of simultaneously analyzing internal and external elements of family businesses in developing countries, as their organizational culture can drive entrepreneurship, and resource limitations can be minimized or overcome through networks. Thus, this study examines the impact of internal ties—particularly organizational culture— and external ties—external network connections—on the entrepreneurial activity of family businesses in Ecuador. Based on data collected from Ecuadorian family businesses via questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-PLS, the study concludes that an organization's internal culture, shaped by family values and management practices, plays a crucial role in these businesses' ability to be entrepreneurial. Additionally, Ecuadorian family businesses benefit from network ties with the community but not from connections with the market or the government. The research offers significant implications for the management of family businesses in developing economies, emphasizing the importance of strengthening both internal business culture and external relations to promote sustainable entrepreneurship
