Abstract

Este estudo tem como objetivo traçar o perfil das empresas familiares localizadas na Região Autónoma dos Açores. Recorrendo a uma amostra de 82 empresas familiares, são analisados vários aspetos importantes na caracterização de empresas familiares, como a propriedade e administração, a gestão e experiência e a cultura organizacional. Outros indicadores são, igualmente, tidos em conta: setor de atividade, anos em operação, número de colaboradores e volume de negócios do último ano. Os resultados obtidos revelam que estas empresas são detidas e controladas exclusivamente pela família e os proprietários e gerentes são a geração fundadora. Atuam no setor do retalho, contam com menos de 10 colaboradores, encontram-se em atividade há mais de 30 anos e têm um volume de negócios inferior a €500.000 por ano. Os membros da família mostram ter orgulho, empenho e identificam-se com as empresas, considerando, ainda, que a família tem uma importante influência no negócio.
