L'entreprise familiale: concept et importance en Belgique

Karin Comblé and Olivier Colot

Reflets et perspectives de la vie économique, 2006, vol. XLV, issue 2, 91-108

Abstract: Family businesses are often presented as being a large part of economy, but the concept itself has not actually been defined and quantified, especially on the Belgian Market. We drived therefore a large inquiry in order to identify Belgian family companies and their main characteristics. We noticed they are quite older and smaller than the mean company. Some places in Wallonia present a larger concentration in family business. The inquiry especially focused on the transmission process, which is foreseen to be of great importance within ten years, concerning about 13.000 companies and 100.000 employments following our forecastings.
