A correlação entre maturidade das empresas familiares e nível de planejamento estratégico para as micro e pequenas empresas paufafonsinas

Abstract

The changes that occur in the management skeleton of family businesses can companies jeopardize and bring to the under family management, and all this is due to the lack of a planning system, we investigate the correlation between the maturity of family firms and level of strategic planning for small and micro companies from Paulo Afonso in order to understand how the maturity of family management is related to the level of strategic planning in small businesses. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize the profile of micro and small family businesses, to propose a model to identify the level of strategic planning and to measure the level of maturity of these enterprise based on family management. A research of a descriptive nature, characterised by a quantitative study, using sources of bibliographical research, documentary and field research, is carried out, through which the questionnaire is used to measure the variables: family company maturity and level of strategic planning. Through the statistical tools: Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression determine the correlation between variables. Where according to the proposed model an average of 5.33 points is reached for the level of strategic planning and for the level of maturity of the family management an average of 5.49, on a scale ranging from 0 to 10 points, a Pearson correlation coefficient between the variables 0.815, classified as a strong positive correlation and through linear regression the equation of the straight line is obtained, from the coefficient of determination, demonstrating that the level of strategic planning explains the maturity of family companies by 66%. This implies that the more mature the family business, the more likely it is to have a better level of strategic planning, although the latter has yet to be formalised and is still incipient.
