Abstract

Este trabajo estudia la internacionalización de las empresas familiares. A partir del enfoque de la empresa basado en los recursos, se analiza qué problemas plantea la propiedad familiar para obtener una cantera de recursos adecuada para sustentar la salida a los mercados internacionales. A partir de ahí, el contraste empírico confirma la existencia de una relación negativa entre propiedad familiar e internacionalización medida a través de la actividad exportadora. Igualmente, se confirma cómo la búsqueda de nuevos recursos, tanto a través de la incorporación de nuevas generaciones a la dirección como mediante la colaboración con otras empresas (mediante participación accionarial o alianzas), tiene efectos positivos para la internacionalización de la empresa familiar.
