Negli ultimi decenni, il numero di imprese a conduzione familiare è aumentato considerevolmente, diventando un fenomeno crescente in tutto il mondo. Recentemente, tali imprese hanno affrontato la necessità e l’opportunità di internazionalizzarsi, per sopravvivere e crescere nel proprio business. La ricerca si focalizza sul sistema di controllo di gestione (MCS) richiesto per le imprese familiari coinvolte in un processo di internazionalizzazione. In letteratura risulta poco studiato il tema delle relazioni tra le principali caratteristiche delle imprese ad impronta familiare operanti in un contesto internazionale e le tre fasi del controllo di gestione (Planning/Budgeting, Performance Measurement e Reporting). Per raggiungere questi obiettivi, è stata condotta una ricerca sul campo che ha permesso di identificare le caratteristiche più significative appartenenti alle due dimensioni in esame, la famiglia e l’internazionalizzazione, e verificare empiricamente come queste caratteristiche influenzano ed impattano sulle tre fasi del controllo di gestione (Planning/Budgeting, Performance Measurement, Reporting). I risultati hanno sottolineato l’importanza di considerare tali variabili, appartenenti alle due dimensioni “famiglia” ed “internazionalizzazione”, nella progettazione ed implementazione di un sistema di controllo di gestione su misura.

Abstract
In the last decades, the number of family-owned firms has increased considerably, becoming a growing phenomenon worldwide. Recently, the family firms have faced the need and the opportunity to internationalize, in order to survive and grow in their businesses. The research focuses on the management control system (MCS) required for the family firms involved in the process of internationalization. There are few works in literature about connections between the principal issues and characteristics of family firms that operate in an international context and the three principal phases of management control systems (Planning/Budgeting, Performance Measurement and Reporting). To reach these objectives we have conducted an Action Research that has allowed to identify the most significant characteristics belonging to the two dimensions under consideration, family and internationalization, and verify how these characteristics influence the three phases of management control system (Planning/Budgeting, Performance Measurement, Reporting). The results underlined the importance of considering the variables belonging to the two dimensions “family” and “internationalization”, in order to design and implement a tailored management control system (MCS).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
