Croatian family businesses: The relationship between business age and management acitvities, styles and practices

The study investigated family business in Croatia with regard to a firm's years in business and the firm's management characteristics. How do a family business management activities, styles and practices change as the firm ages? Focusing on a variety of family firm managment variables identified as important in the family business literature, statistical analyses indicated that company age does not seem to have a significant impact. The empirical and statistical analysis of family businesses does not support much of the earlier and largely conceptual literature, which focused on company life cycles and stages of management. Thus, this study indicates a need for a considerable further research with regard to this issue.
