Study Of Some Particularities Of Algerian Family Businesses Through The Case Of The Wilaya Of Tizi-ouzou

Authors : Hadjem Madjid .

Abstract

This article examines the specificities of Algerian family businesses, through the case of the wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou. More precisely, it looks at three specificities, namely; the profile of the manager, the method of financing and growth and the institutional context. It shows that the first two are strongly influenced and conditioned by the involvement of the family and the socio-cultural environment in a rather negative way, while the third does not contribute, as it should, to improve the other two. The family businesses of Tizi-Ouzou thus find themselves in a logic of action that is not dynamic, slow and cautious, even suspicious of its environment. Due to the interweaving of the family sphere and that of the company, social and family inertia, reflection of a conservatism and a strong attachment to traditions, and leaves more room for the emotional and the irrational to the detriment of the rational and the economic, is in fact reflected on the family business.
