Abstract
Italian Abstract: Con particolare riferimento al periodo 2007-2012, questo lavoro analizza le principali caratteristiche delle imprese familiari in Italia, in termini di scelte occupazionali, accesso al finanziamento bancario, strategie di innovazione e di internazionalizzazione. L’analisi comparativa su un campione rappresentativo di imprese medio-grandi non fa emergere criticità specifiche legate alle imprese familiari, nel confronto con imprese a proprietà diffusa. Al contrario, l’orizzonte temporale più lungo che caratterizza il commitment della famiglia controllante sembrerebbe aver contribuito a mitigare, almeno parzialmente, gli effetti negativi della recente crisi economica.
English Abstract: Focussing on the period 2007-2012, this paper analyzes the main characteristics of Italian family firms, in terms of employment policies, access to bank financing, innovation and internationalization strategies. The comparative analysis on a representative sample of medium-large companies does not reveal specific weaknesses of family owned businesses compared to non-family ones. On the contrary, the longer time horizon that characterizes the family commitment to the firm has mitigated, at least partially, the adverse consequences of the recent crisis.
