Philosophical Foundations of Family Business Development

Abstract

The work approaches the concept of family from a legal perspective, starting from the idea of interest, which leads to the deployment of subjectivity and concrete ethical development, thus allowing to visualize the alluded concept. Once the particularities of the family interest are established, filiation is constituted, from the point of view of civil society, in a specific group that faces diversity, having as a reference the principle of force, moral elements, or the same ethic. According to the above, in the family, the political formation of the individual is presented, its right and recognition with which an ethical relationship is established. However, the cultural ties thus created are the foundation of any family business, understood as the life project, to such a degree that everyone fulfills a function within the group and seeks to contribute creatively to the solution of economic, social, and political problems. It is concluded that the family can be an organic space of motivation that develops a whole experience, liberates experimentation, seeks empowerment, improves participation and involvement, allows collaborative work, and encourages creativity.
