Abstract: Abstract Family businesses constitute the dominant and oldest form of business organizations. They had a special importance in the economy throughout history, which continues today in the modern world. Almost in all countries of the world, family business plays a key role in overall economic development, including workforce engagement. Understanding the family business ranges from a small enterprise on the edge of a road to a neighborhood, to large conglomerates that operate in different industries and countries (IFC 2008). Therefore, the definition of family businesses is a quite complex issue, where relevant difficulty represents the interaction of the family system and business. All of this said, even today there is not a generally accepted definition for family business (Chua et al. 1999).
