Abstract

This study examines the impact of business environment failures on the innovation of family businesses in Morocco, analyzing the moderating role of family involvement in the company. Based on a sample of 281 family businesses that participated in the 2019 Enterprise Survey conducted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the World Bank Group (WBG), the results reveal that institutional failures, such as regulatory constraints and limited access to financial resources, significantly hinder the innovation of family businesses. However, active family involvement in management fosters innovation, while family ownership has no significant effect. The study highlights that family businesses managed by family members develop adaptive and resilient strategies, enabling them to better overcome institutional constraints and seize innovation opportunities in a challenging environment.
