Résumé
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’investiguer la relation entre l’innovation et le degré d’internationalisation des PME familiales. Sur la base d’un échantillon de 247 PME familiales belges, les résultats obtenus au travers de la modélisation par équations structurelles démontrent que l’innovation est positivement liée au degré d’internationalisation. Il apparaît également que des niveaux modérés ou élevés d’implication non familiale dans l’équipe dirigeante atténuent la relation positive entre l’innovation et le degré d’internationalisation. En revanche, ce lien positif est accentué lorsque que la deuxième génération et les générations suivantes sont aux commandes de l’entreprise.

Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between innovation and the degree of internationalization of family SMEs. Based on a sample of 247 Belgian family SMEs, the results from the structural equation modelling analysis show that innovation is positively related to the degree of internationalization. It also appears that moderate to high levels of nonfamily involvement in the top management team attenuate this positive relationship. In contrast, the positive relationship between innovation and the degree of internationalization is accentuated when second or later generations are in charge of the company.

Resumen
Este estudio analiza la relación entre la innovación y el grado de internacionalización de las Pymes familiares. Basados en una muestra de 247 Pymes familiares belgas, los resultados del análisis del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales muestran que la innovación está relacionada positivamente con el grado de internacionalización. También se encontró que los niveles moderados a altos de participación no familiar en el equipo de alta dirección atenúan esta relación positiva. Por otra parte, la relación positiva entre la innovación y el grado de internacionalización se acentúa cuando las segundas generaciones, o las posteriores, están a cargo de la empresa.
Palabras clave:
