Resumen

Este trabajo analiza una muestra de 672 empresas no financieras pertenecientes a la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León para evidenciar el efecto que ejerce el deseo de perpetuar el control familiar sobre la estructura financiera de las empresas familiares y realiza dos grandes contribuciones. En primer lugar, se comprueba que esta premisa de trascendencia genera en la empresa familiar un orden de preferencias de financiación acorde con la establecida por la Teoría del Pecking Order. En segundo lugar, aunque con los cambios generacionales se mantiene el deseo de control familiar, el debilitamiento de los lazos reduce la capacidad de sacrificio de los miembros familiares y, por tanto, varía la ponderación de las fuentes de financiación.
