This work aims to analyze the differences in competitiveness on the one hand between small and medium-big enterprises, even at territorial level, and on the other hand, focusing on small family businesses (SFBs), between SFBs where the family controls both ownership and governance (named "SFBs in strict sense") and SFBs where the governance runs by outside managers (named "SFBs broadened to governance").

Keywords: Small enterprises, family business, enterprise governance, spatial divergences, competitiveness, innovation
