Score of family business employ their workers for the other reasons mainly from solidarity. The employees are
sometimes the other family members who have problems with unemployment like women after the maternity
leave, handicapped persons, and seniors and so on. (Odehnalová, 2007, p. 146, Koráb and Hanzelková and
Mihalisko, 2008, p.63)
Pricewaterhouse Coopers, (2007) states that family business compensates the deficit in qualification
level of employees by the higher employees benefits spent on the education, social benefits and so on. The
similar results were found also in Czech Republic.
External factors of competitiveness
Analysis of the external factors of competitiveness did not prove any fundamental differences. This is
done by the fact that the company environment is the same for the family and non- family business. The
domestic market is small, so the conditions for the family and non-family business are the same.
Stakeholders
Other field of study was dedicated to the stakeholders. The main differences in the relationship with
stakeholders are in the relationship with state. Family business marked the state as an important stakeholder.
The difference between family and non-family business in the answers on this question was nearly 8%.
