Title: Respuestas Estratégicas de las Empresas Familiares Argentinas Frente a la Crisis del Covid-19. Estudio de Casos
Abstract: From  the  perspective  of  “familiness”,  this  paper  aims  to  understand  the  behaviour  of  family  businesses  in  light  of  the  pandemic  caused by COVID-19. In the empirical study, a qualitative design was applied. Following Eisenhardt (1989) and Eisenhardt y Graebner (2007), a minimum of 4 (four) cases were selected to explore and report on the first responses in terms of organisational strategies implemented by family businesses located in a medium-sized municipality in Argentina and belonging to the agri-food chain. The results  obtained  make  it  possible  to  state  that,  in  the  face  of  this  crisis,  the  participating  organisations  focused  on  evaluating  external  circumstances  and  adopting  a  series  of  immediate  measures  aimed  at  reducing  expenses  to  maintain  themselves,  but  also at growing towards new markets, relying on self-financing and strong family ties and relationships with third parties. The paper provides new evidence on the resilience of these companies in critical contexts, particularly those located in geographically delimited environments.
