Popis:	Research investigating whether there are gender differences in the management of businesses has produced mixed results. This study investigated gender differences within the family business sector. Empirical inquiry was based on data collected from 210 small family businesses in South America. Results indicate no significant gender differences in managerial activities and characteristics of the surveyed family businesses. Analysis of the results infers that such gender differences may be culture dependent. Theoretical and practical regional development implications for family business owner-managers, educators, consultants, and public policy and suggestions for further family business research are presented.
