Abstract(s)
As empresas familiares são cruciais para o crescimento económico e desenvolvimento em todo o mundo. Estas empresas apresentam certas especificidades em termos da sua visão, intenções e comportamentos que envolvem profundamente os membros da família. No âmbito do projeto SPRING (Succession Planning and Regeneration in Family Businesses for New Growth through an innovative training program), este artigo pretende apresentar o estudo de caso da empresa Ropre com vista a ilustrar, através de várias entrevistas levadas a cabo a membros da família, o envolvimento e motivação em relação ao negócio da família ao longo do tempo, os eventos críticos que afetaram o negócio familiar, e os mecanismos de governança familiar. Os resultados apontam para visões algo opostas entre os membros da família e os membros externos, sendo esta uma possível fonte de conflitos de interesse na empresa, no futuro. Apesar destas dificuldades, a visão de longo prazo do mercado, a internacionalização, a capacidade de adaptação, e a abertura à mudança estratégica, foram determinantes para o sucesso e longevidade do negócio familiar. Este é um bom exemplo de uma empresa familiar no que respeita à capacidade de inovar e de se internacionalizar; para além disso, o envolvimento dos membros da família na empresa, a sua dedicação, resiliência e capacidade de adaptação a novas realidades é notório. No entanto, o problema da sucessão ainda precisa de ser discutido e amadurecido pela família.
Family businesses are crucial to economic growth and development around the world. These companies present certain specificities in terms of their vision, intentions and behaviours that deeply involve the family members. In the scope of the project SPRING (Succession Planning and Regeneration in Family Businesses for New Growth through an innovative training program), this paper aims to present the case study of Ropre company in order to illustrate, through several interviews carried out to family members, the involvement and motivation regarding family business over time, critical events that affected the family business, and family governance mechanisms. The results point to somewhat opposite views between family members and non-family members, being these a possible source of conflicts of interest in the company, in the future. Despite all the difficulties, the long-term view of the market, the international openness, the adaptive capacity, and the openness to strategic change, were determinant to the success and longevity of this family business. This is a good example of a family business in terms of innovation and internationalisation; furthermore, the involvement of the family members in the company, their dedication, resilience and ability to adapt to new realities is notorious. However, the problem of succession is something that the family still needs to discuss and mature.
