Resumen

Las empresas familiares muestran un comportamiento particular en su internacionalización debido a los lazos afectivos que se derivan de la influencia familiar en el negocio. El deseo de alcanzar objetivos tanto empresariales como familiares determina la toma de decisiones estratégicas de los miembros familiares en el gobierno y la dirección, afectando a la estrategia de internacionalización. Esta investigación pretende determinar qué factores asociados a la familia influyen en la internacionalización de las empresas familiares. Así, utilizando una muestra de 254 pequeñas y medianas empresas familiares españolas analizamos como los factores relacionados con la familia afectan a las exportaciones. Los resultados confirman que tanto la propiedad familiar como la generación a cargo de la empresa tienen un efecto positivo en la intensidad exportadora de las empresas familiares. Sin embargo, los resultados no son concluyentes respecto a la relación entre la implicación de la familia en el consejo de administración y las exportaciones.
