Resumen

Este trabajo discute acerca de cómo se configuran los recursos estratégicos culturales en la empresa familiar, en un intento de entender mejor las diferencias y similitudes entre empresas familiares y no familiares. Para ello, el marco conceptual empleado es el instrumento de valoración de la cultura de Cameron y Quinn (1999), en el que se distinguen cuatro tipos de orientaciones competitivas culturales (mercado, jerarquía, clan y adhocracia). Con ello se propone que la cultura organizativa varía en función del carácter de la empresa, atendiendo al grado de propiedad y dirección en manos de la familia. En concreto, la cultura clan y adhocrática caracterizan mejor a la cultura de las empresas de propiedad y dirección familiar. Mientras que la de mercado es la cultura que mejor caracteriza a las empresas no familiares. En el caso de las empresas familiares profesionalizadas, no existen diferencias culturales con respecto a las empresas de propiedad y dirección familiar.
