Resumen

El presente trabajo analiza la influencia de la estructura de propiedad en las estrategias de reestructuración en empresas en crisis, específicamente, en el caso de las pequeñas y medianas empresas. En concreto, nos centramos en el estudio de las diferenci as entre empresas familiares y no familiares a la hora de afrontar y reaccionar ante resultados decrecientes. Sobre una muestra de 1.807 empresas españolas (PYMEs), de las que 947 están controladas por una persona o familia, hemos encontrado que las empres as familiares con resultados negativos tienden a mantener o aumentar puestos de trabajo al tiempo que reducen sus activos a través de procesos de desinversión. Asimismo, hemos comprobado que esta relación se da con mayor intensidad en el caso de las empres as familiares de menor tamaño y edad. Finalmente , el nivel de concentración de la propiedad también parece ejercer un papel moderador.
