Abstract
This study seeks to answer whether family firms grow slower than non-family

firms in Norway, and if family firm’s inherent characteristics explains differing

growth. Our research analyses four different measurements of growth: Sales,

Operating income, Total assets and Wage. Out of 12 industries, we find that

family firms grow slower in 6 industries, but quicker in 2 industries. Our tests

show that none of the following explains the differing growth: risk aversion, lack

of business planning or family ties over professionalism. Lastly, we also discuss

possible reasons for different growth scenarios across industries.
