Abstract(s)
As empresas familiares ocupam um papel de extrema importância na economia mundial, uma vez que estima-se que de todas as empresas do mundo, 65% a 80% são familiares.
No entanto verifica-se uma maior taxa de mortalidade precoce neste tipo de empresas quando comparadas a empresas não familiares, sendo fundamental aprofundar o conhecimento acerca das mesmas. Assim, este estudo pretende analisar os fatores que podem influenciar a sobrevivência das empresas familiares, no contexto de uma empresa do setor da construção.
A pesquisa teve por base um enquadramento teórico do que se entende por empresa familiar, bem como as suas características genéricas, cultura organizacional, pontos fortes e vulnerabilidades, ciclo de vida, sucessão, mortalidade e modelo de gestão.
Com base na revisão da literatura foi feito um quadro síntese dos fatores que podem contribuir para a sobrevivência ou para a mortalidade precoce das empresas familiares.
Com um objetivo eminentemente exploratório, concretizado na forma de estudo de caso, recorreu-se à entrevista para recolha de dados. Foram realizadas entrevistas aos gestores de uma empresa familiar na segunda geração. Seguidamente procedeu-se à respetiva análise de conteúdo e à comparação das respostas dadas pelos diferentes entrevistados.
As conclusões do estudo de caso permitirão contribuir para uma melhor clarificação dos fatores que podem contribuir para a sobrevivência das empresas familiares.
