Abstract
This paper analyses the make-up of strategic cultural resources in the family business to establish important declarations which can define better the differences and similarities between family and non family businesses. The tool used here is the culture valuation tool proposed by Cameron and Quinn (1999) which identifies four types of cultural, competitive foci (market, hierarchy, clan and adhocracy). The organizational culture varies according to the nature of the business in terms of the degree of family ownership and management. Specifically, the clan and adhocracy culture are what best characterize the culture of family owned and managed businesses, while it is the market culture which best characterizes nonfamily businesses. Professionalized family businesses show no cultural differences with respect to family owned and managed firms.Downloads
