The essence of culture diversity in family businesses from Mexico and Poland

摘要

The present paper is the description of research on differences in the influence of family aspects on the functioning of family businesses in two cultural contexts: low and high. High-context culture was represented by family businesses from Mexico and low-context by family businesses from Poland. The research was conducted using a structured individual interview with family business owners. The results obtained point to a strong relationship of values and family aspects with the operation of a family business. It may therefore be assumed that the influence of family aspects on the functioning of family businesses in different cultural contexts is similar, both in Poland (low-context) and Mexico (high-context).
