La internacionalización de la empresa familiar en la provincia de Alicante: comparativa entre empresas

Abstract

The existence of an increasingly globalized environment and the development of new technologies have led an internationalization process affecting more and more to all kinds of companies. In the case of family business, the internationalization process is not a risk but an opportunity for the future growth. The province of Alicante is characterized by a traditional export orientation and the dominance of family business. This singularity has a particular importance and is particularly interesting to realize the impact on family businesses. In order to do it, we have tried to compare through an empirical study family businesses and unfamiliar businesses, so we can analyze not only differences and similarities in the globalization, but also the influence and family factors in the company.
