Family businesses are the most widespread type of business in the world. On the other hand, family businesses are estimated to contribute the most to the economic development of a country. Due to the importance of these businesses, numerous studies have been conducted to identify the problems faced by these businesses. One of the main problems of these businesses is the lack of professional management that is a result of the conventional approach of the owners of these businesses. This study was conducted in order to identify the problems faced by family businesses, and to also understand the negative reflections in the internal business environment that arise as a result of not shifting to a professional management of local family businesses operating in Kosovo. In order to provide information on managerial problems, direct meetings were held with 8 managers of these family businesses. In this paper, a qualitative research method is used, using the "case study" model.
