Our study has confirmed that small and medium-sized family enterprises are a numerically important group of enterprises in Slovenia. Most family enterprises belong to first-generation owners who established the enterprise. Family enterprises are, on average, statistically significantly older than non-family ones. Other examined family/non-family differences were not statistically significant.20082015-07-10 12:21:49Delo ni kategorizirano49540UDK: 005.13:334.722.24(497.4)OceCobissID: 9523740COBISS_ID: 9524764NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:EZLSKWRZsl
