Training and HRD Strategies in Family and Non-Family Owned Small Businesses: A Comparative Approach.
Matlay, Harry
Education + Training, v44 n8-9 p357-69 2002
A survey of 6,000 British small businesses, 600 interviews, and 120 case studies found that 70-80% were family owned; most favored informal management styles. In family-owned businesses, training of nonfamily employees was considered less crucial; investments in the latter were related to long-term business strategies and potential succession.
