Abstract:

In the analyses of determinants for the development of family businesses, regional determinants of their development are usually neglected. The majority of research focuses chiefly on internal determinants. The present article constitutes an attempt to identify and assess the impact strength of local (regional) determinants on the development of family businesses. The analyses are based on empirical research conducted at the turn of the years of 2017 and 2018 on a sample of nearly 15 thousand Polish family businesses.
