The aim of this thesis is to better understand how family to business support affects the entrepreneurial success and the financial performance of the Lebanese companies. And how success isn't males special characteristic. For that aim we elaborated four hypotheses. The first hypothesis indicated that family to business support is positively related to entrepreneurial success. The second hypothesis suggested that the Lebanese entrepreneurs are positively job satisfied. The third hypothesis proposed that there are no differences in gender-based performance in the Lebanese SMEs. And finally, the fourth hypothesis suggested that family to business support is positively related to female entrepreneurial success. In order to authenticate our hypotheses we have collected primary data by using a quantitative method technique by performing an inquiry by surveying 50 Lebanese companies through a questionnaire formed by closed questions and modulators. This research analyzes the impact of family to business support on entrepreneurial success. By using the multiple regression equation we established a relationship between the different family to business support factors and the variable controls used to for the research such as age, gender, salary ... Also we studied if the Lebanese entrepreneurs are positively job satisfied. And if gender-based influence on the performance of the studied enterprises. And finally, we studied the positive relationship between female and entrepreneurial success. Analyzing the results, the factors studied as family to business support represent a small portion of the variables influencing the entrepreneurial success and therefore we concluded that there is no relationship between family to business support as we studied it and entrepreneurial success. And, Lebanese entrepreneurs are highly satisfied and very content of the performance and the results of their firms. Also, we concluded from our research that there is a positive difference in performance results between male and female gender. And finally studying our last hypothesis, we concluded that female entrepreneurs rely on the family to business support to succeed in their firms.

This thesis investigates the existing relationship between family involvement in ownership, direction, business management and the enterprise's financial performance. Whether family managers and directors or non-family managers and outside directors approaches have better influence on the company's financial performance, is also investigated. The relation between conservative, entrenchment management and financial performance is reviewed as well. Lastly, whether family involvements by heirs for longevity goals and business succession have a positive influence on financial performance is also reviewed. The analysis of the family involvement implications on the firm's profitability is based on a quantitative study with a sample of 69 Lebanese companies. Based on the gathered data, the comparison of financial performance and the involvement of family and non-family managers, we concluded that family involvement is negatively correlated to the company's profitability. The more the family is involved in management and in direction, the less the financial performance is realized. Furthermore, the results show a negative association between conservative management, entrenchment and financial performance. Lastly, according to longevity goals and business succession with family involvement by heirs, the result didn't show a significant relationship with financial performance. These results were authenticating through the culture and the qualification of Lebanese family owners and managers. This research study indicates that, non-family managers and family owners act as stewards by caring about maximizing the family business value for all shareholders and by considering the success of the company as their own, instead of acting as agents by prioritizing the family members' utility and personal goals.

This article explores the characteristics of Lebanese family businesses using a sample of 114 firms and tests various propositions regarding the relationships between correlates of effective succession planning and longevity. Successful family businesses in Lebanon exhibit a variety of responses to the variables that are conducive to success. The findings indicate that older firms are more inclined to use a participatory decision-making process, as evidenced by more reliance on advisory boards. A significantly larger proportion of older firms relative to younger ones holds family meetings and has formal redemption and liquidity plans. Firms in our sample are characterized by liberal attitudes: more than 75% consider female ownership acceptable and more than two-thirds of the firms respond positively to potential female CEOs.

Running a small business provides opportunity for greater success, increased growth, and potentially the chance to move to the global business arena, yet also much more risk. Small businesses not only have less employment, but also less annual revenue than a regular-sized business. With the growth of large corporations and chain businesses, it has become harder to maintain the survival of a small business. The COVID-19 pandemic has also brought more pressure onto the already unsteady survival of small businesses, due to forced closures, decreased agility, fewer technological innovations, and smaller customer bases. The Research Anthology on Small Business Strategies for Success and Survival offers current strategies for small businesses that can be utilized in order to maintain equal footing during challenging times. With the proper strategies available to small business owners, small businesses could not only survive, but also excel despite the environment that surrounds them. Covering topics including decision management, new supportive technologies, sustainable development, and micro-financing, this text is ideal for small business owners, entrepreneurs, startup companies, family-owned and operated businesses, restaurateurs, local retailers, managers, executives, academicians, researchers, and students.
