Characteristics of Family Business through the Eyes of the African Researchers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

As family businesses are in European market usually considered the private companies owned by one or more families and their members, who have a common history and, through the active cooperation of family members, form a future plan based on the long-term sustainability of the business. However, a uniform generally applicable definition has not been introduced, yet. Moreover, the specification of the family business could differ between the countries and continents. Therefore, if we want to deal with the family business issue, it is first necessary to determine how the term „family business” is understood in the given locations. Therefore, this work aims to present how family businesses are perceived in the least developed countries of the world in Africa and what are its most specific characteristics. Using data collected from a primary survey questionnaire in 20 African countries, we found the most important characteristics of the family businesses in Africa. They are similar to those presented in researches on family businesses in Europe; however, in contra to finding in the Europe, we found, that for African researchers, it is important, that the family business owners live the same permanent address as the place/address of the business is.
