| dc.description.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. | nb_NO |
