RESUMO

The purpose of this work is the proposition of a governance implementation pattern for small and medium sized family enterprises, so that more organizations would be able to reduce conflicts and liberate themselves from some of the main obstacles to their perpetuation. The participation of family enterprises in the ensemble of the Brazilian organizations is very high and the actions taken to improve their conditions to survive have a great impact on national economy. Family conflicts permeate a large number of these enterprises and are especially critical during succession processes. The research was developed in a qualitative form and the study of multiple cases was used as delineation. To its realization three family enterprises were selected according to the defined choosing criteria, that are: to be of small or middle size, to be in the process of changing the command from the first to the second generation or to have finished it four years ago at the most; to have family protocols and family or societary councils or, at least, to be in an advanced phase of the implantation of these tools. Finally, it is proposed a model of governance implementation in the family enterprise, built with the participation of those involved in the enterprise who have confirmed the reduction of conflicts as a result of the utilization of family councils, societary and family protocols.
