    El tamaño de las empresas y la calidad del recurso empresarial: ¿causa o efecto?
    (Gobierno Vasco, 2016) Huerta Arribas, Emilio; García Olaverri, Carmen; Garcés Galdeano, Lucía; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    Este artículo explora las posibles causas de la heterogeneidad observada en la productividad de las empresas españolas, buscando un vínculo entre la calidad de gestión y el tamaño empresarial en el contexto de las empresas españolas. Los resultados indican que existe una relación positiva entre la calidad y el tamaño empresarial. Esta calidad empresarial, medida a través de diferentes indicadores (nivel educativo, competencias y capacidades profesionales así como el nivel de implantación de prácticas avanzadas de gestión), está relacionada con la gestión de la empresa y con la orientación estratégica de la misma, que juntas influyen también sobre su tamaño. Por lo tanto, la mejora de la gestión empresarial, avanzando hacia el profesionalismo, permitirá a las empresas diseñar las estrategias y estructuras internas necesarias para facilitar su adaptación al entorno empresarial y lograr así mejores resultados.

    The hidden value of intangibles: do CEO characteristics matter?
    (Emerald, 2019) Garcés Galdeano, Lucía; García Olaverri, Carmen; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de Empresas; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
    Purpose: A great deal of research has examined the relationship between a single CEO attribute and a single measure of firm performance; no attempts have been made to integrate them to create a more global vision of both. Therefore, trying to answer new calls from Wang et al. (2016) or Liu, Fisher and Chen (2018) about a more global vision of the CEO characteristics, the authors are going to take a step forward to combine different CEO characteristics with different firm performance measure in order to show that a certain managerial profile would have an impact on several variables of firm performance. This paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of 1,236 small firms in high- and medium-high-technology sectors and through the Canonical Correlation Analysis, the authors are able to create different CEO’s profiles that influence on different combinations of firm performance variables. Findings: The authors obtain different CEO’s profiles that influence on different combinations of firm performance variables. Each CEO profile will enhance or diminish one kind of performance measure. The authors found that on the one hand, young, well-educated with external experience CEO profile will enhance innovative performance and firm growth, and on the other hand, old and more internal and external experience CEO profile will enhance the exploitation of external knowledge. Originality/value: Through this analysis, the authors will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the predictions about the role of CEOs in small firms.

    How important is family involvement for small companies’ growth?
    (Emerald, 2020) Garcés Galdeano, Lucía; García Olaverri, Carmen; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de Empresas; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
    Purpose: Our paper seeks to further understand how family involvement in management influences firm growth. Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of small high-tech firms, we classify three different types of firms: family firms managed by family-CEOs, family firms managed by non-family CEOs and non-family firms. Findings: Consistent with our expectations, we show that firms managed by family-CEOs have less firm growth in comparison with the other two groups. When the family firm is managed by non-family CEOs, the presence of another family member in management positions has a negative impact on firm growth. Finally, we found that founder-led family firms have better firm growth than descendant-led family firms. Research limitations/implications: Implications for the theory of family firms are discussed. Originality/value: The value of the present study is to analyse in depth the heterogeneity of the family business trying to close the gap by exploring the effect of family involvement on small firm growth. Thus, we will find different behaviours of these family companies, depending on the family member’s presence in management positions.
