In recent years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attracted much interest in both the academic world and the professional, proof of this are many studies on this topic that have been made. However, most studies of CSR focus on larger organizations, with few studies focusing on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and even less on family SMEs. For this reason, the objective of this research is to determine whether there are differences in orientation towards CSR between family SMEs and non-familiar ones, and if this fact can be influenced by gender and the level of formal studies of the manager, among other factors. The results, on a sample of 123 SMEs, indicate that family SMEs are more socially responsible than no familiar ones.

Conflict is part of the human condition. Therefore, it is neither negative nor positive, but rather a natural phenomena. The negative connotations traditionally attributed to conflict are at odds with current theories that explain the use of the term as an engine of change and generator of competitive advantage. The fact that family business is defined by two different systems, the family and the business, can lead to the emergence of many conflicts, but it can also help a business be successful if it can correctly differentiate between the two. To this end, both parties, the family and the business, must keep their own interests at arm's length and focus on common interests and goals.
