Abstract

Family businesses are the most common institutions in society due to their structure, since a large part of the companies that exist today are family-based or began their activities being so, hence the importance of their analysis. This paper emphasizes a delimited group of these small and medium family businesses that are in the Metropolitan District of Quito (DMQ) and belong to the Metalworking sector, prioritizing governance, and succession management as a determining factor for discussion in terms of Family, Company and Property. Family governance management models were the main tool to carry out the study, and to make a comparison in terms of what the theory mentions and the practice reflects. After having designed and applied a survey to 58 participants from the aforementioned sector, the results showed as the predominant scenario an empirical management of companies, which has undoubtedly allowed them to get to where they are, however, it is also the source of several conflicts that In one way or another, they can trigger more complex problems, since as the family is closely linked to the company, the emotions involved in many cases have a negative influence.
