Resumen

Las dinámicas de poder desempeñan un papel fundamental en la configuración de la gobernanza, la toma de decisiones y las relaciones interpersonales dentro de las empresas familiares, que funcionan como organizaciones híbridas en la intersección de los sistemas familiar y empresarial. Este artículo examina las manifestaciones singulares del poder en la familia empresaria, utilizando la taxonomía de French y Raven como base teórica y contextualizando el poder a lo largo de las cuatro dimensiones de gobernanza: familia, propiedad, dirección y ejecución.

Proponemos recomendaciones para un ejercicio efectivo del poder en las empresas familiares con el fin de alcanzar los resultados deseados en relación con la empresa y, al mismo tiempo, preservar resultados positivos para la familia. Finalmente, destacamos la importancia de realizar investigaciones enfocadas en las dinámicas de poder en las empresas familiares y sugerimos líneas para futuras investigaciones.
