RESUMEN

Los distintos trabajos que han explorado los efectos de la propiedad y el control familiar sobre la eficiencia de las pequeñas y medianas empresas han llegado a conclusiones dispares e incluso, en muchos casos, contradictorias. Este trabajo discute las limitaciones presentes en este tipo de estudios y, partiendo de ellas, propone un modelo específico de análisis centrado en dos elementos básicos: 1. una variable categórica ordinal que permite diferenciar tres niveles de «carácter familiar» de las empresas, y 2. una medida multidimensional de eficiencia propuesta a partir del modelo Data Envelopment Análisis (DEA).

ABSTRACT

The different studies that have explored the effects of family ownership and control on SME's efficiency have reached disparate, and even contradictory, findings. This paper discusses the limitations of these studies and, drawing on them, proposes a specific model based on three elements: 1. an ordinal categorical variable that allows us to measure three levels of «familiness», and 2. a multidimensional measure of efficiency based on the Data Envelopment Análisis (DEA) model.
