Approaches to defining the essence of family businesses in foreign countries are considered and the main requirements for their creation are determined. It is determined that family business in foreign countries is mostly carried out in farming. The world family business is characterized by two features. First of all, the preservation of a huge number of small and medium enterprises created by family members. The second feature is the presence of huge family corporations and holdings with a world name and age history, which are inherited 3-6 times. Approaches to the regulation of family businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania are analyzed. Foreign experience proves that family businesses can be created both in the form of commercial enterprises and in the form of a legal entity, which allows companies to choose the rules of their own activities; an automatic registration procedure is applied, which reduces time costs; the law defines the list of persons who may belong to family members; joint and several liability of family members under the terms of the contract is applied, which strengthens the liability of all family members for the results of activities; There is a distribution of profits depending on the amount of contributions of each family member, which creates the interest of all persons in increasing the profits of the enterprise. Draft legislative acts were considered, which provided for the introduction of family businesses taxation or regulation of their economic activities. The advantages and disadvantages of such bills are substantiated. The existing system of taxation of family farms within the single tax is analyzed (group 4). Recommendations on the possible introduction of family business taxation in Ukraine as part of the simplified taxation system are substantiated. The risks of applying family business taxation for the state and family businesses are highlighted.

The purpose of this study is to identify the application of aspects of corporate governance in family businesses and SMEs scale non-family businesses in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and to identify differences in the application of aspects of corporate governance in family businesses and non-family businesses on the scale of SMEs in the Special Region. Yogyakarta. Respondents in this study involved SMEs in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Five family businesses and five SME scale non-family businesses in the Yogyakarta Special Region were selected in each sampling location. The sample was determined by the convenience sampling method. This study will first examine the application of governance in family businesses and non-family businesses separately, then compare the application of governance between the two types of business.This study indicates that each type of business has carried out corporate governance in its business, but not maximally. There are advantages and disadvantages in its application. Most of the reasons for these differences in implementation arise from the basic characteristics that differentiate family businesses and non-family businesses, namely the ownership structure and the business structure. The more concentrated ownership and business structure, the less transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness the company tends to be. On the other hand, in companies with more dispersed levels of ownership concentration and business structure, the application of the five aspects of corporate governance will increase.Keywords: Good Corporate Governance, Small and Medium Enterprises, Family and Non-Family Business

The aim of the article is to study the peculiarities of the financial and credit mechanism of supporting small and medium enterprises in foreign countries with the purpose of identification of key areas for the development of financial and credit support for small and medium enterprises in Ukraine. The subject of the study is the foreign experience of financing small and medium-sized businesses. Methodology. The research is based on a comparison of financial and credit support of small and medium business in Ukraine and in foreign countries. The advantages and disadvantages of different support systems for small and medium-sized enterprises are determined on the basis of an analysis of the specifics of financing small and medium-sized businesses in Germany, the USA, the UK, Italy, Japan, and some other countries. The possibilities and limits of the application of positive foreign experience in this area are determined on the basis of a comparative legal study of certain provisions of Ukrainian legislation. The results of the study showed that the peculiarities of the financial and credit mechanism for supporting small and mediumsized businesses in foreign countries, which were studied, are as follows: the predominance of indirect support methods, provision of state financial help only on a competitive, turnaround, and paid basis; effectively functioning system of state guarantee of loans, which were provided to small businesses by commercial banks (guarantee from 60 to 90% of the loan); creation of a network of special banks, which serve small businesses at different levels; strong financial stimulation for small businesses in their innovation activity; stimulating taxation system and special depreciation procedure; creation of conditions for equal access for all entrepreneurs to information and consulting services (especially on taxation, lending, and insurance issues). Practical implications. The positive experience of financing small and medium business shows that the foreign practice of functioning of the financial and credit mechanism for supporting small business is not based on the fact that, on preferential terms, small enterprises can receive all the necessary financial and credit resources for their development and support small business at all costs. But this practice is aimed to create a favourable economic and legal climate that allows small businesses not only to survive but also to successfully develop. Correlation/originality. A comparative analysis of small and medium business financing systems is the basis for developing the most promising directions for the development of domestic legislation in this field.

The debate over the usefulness of outside board members in family businesses goes on. Two of the three empirical studies on this issue tend to disagree on their value. Using a sample of 262 family business firms, drawn from the Business Week Newsletter for Family-Owned Businesses, this study surveyed CEOs to learn of their attitudes toward inside and outside board members. The findings strongly support the inclusion of outsiders and suggest that the more outside board members the better and the more inside family members the worse, but only where CEO desire, careful selection, and shared expectations are part of that outsider membership.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between family succession, professionalization and internationalization in family businesses within the Brazilian context.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a multiple-case study method with three Brazilian family businesses that have at least two generations of the owning family involved in the business and an international presence of at least three years. In-depth interviews and secondary data were undertaken with family and non-family members of each case.FindingsThe authors' results show that a family business can boost its internationalization by introducing both succession planning and professionalization on international activities. As family members tend to be more risk-averse and focused on keeping the family business within the family, professionalization is a way of improving the firm's ability to expand internationally. This process tends to lead to lower performance by the firm for the first few months or the first year after the investment, but afterward, international performance tends to grow exponentially.Originality/valueOnly a few studies have been concerned on the relationship of these three dimensions. Thus, the research takes into account that professionalization and succession lead family businesses to improve their internationalization strategies.

It also finds the reasons behind the success of the women entrepreneurship. Both primary and secondary data have been used to conduct the study. The questionnaire included questions about economic problems, family related issues, social constraints and other limitations faced by women entrepreneurs and the reasons behind their success. Women involved in various small and medium enterprises take on the challenge to work in a male-dominated society, competitive and complex economic and business environment. However, the identified challenges are inadequate capital, sales promotion, getting permission to start-up a business, gender discrimination, illiteracy and lack of knowledge among women, non-availability of training program and technical support, lack of managerial experience, in some cases young people make ill talk about the enterprise and so on. Personal qualities such as hard work and perseverance, management skills and marketing skills, support provided by their spouses or family are the main reasons behind the success of the women entrepreneurs. The level of participation of women in mainstream economic activities remains insufficient and the percentage of women in business is still much below than that of their male counterparts.Journal of Business and Technology (Dhaka) Vol.9(2) 2014; 27-41
