Abstract

This paper studies family businesses in the province of Tehran, by adopting a cultural approach in the context of economic sociology. It takes a qualitative approach. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 25 CEOs of family firms. In order to analyze the findings coding method was used. The current study aims to provide a review of the role and status of women in this type of business from the perspective of the respondents. The results show that the role and position of women in the eyes of managers who are all men can be classified under three categories:  the role of women in enterprises (including formalism - immaterialness – controversy- invisibility- and lack of promotion);  challenges for the presence of women in enterprises (including relationships- jealousy- and familial distrust); and consequences (including family collapse and enterprise collapse). In general, the attitude and management of patriarchy as the most important family value system and culture dominates the role of women in the family business to a large extent. In addition, the presence of women in family-owned businesses is fraught with challenges that ultimately lead to consequences (for example, the weakening of family ties and the collapse of business) for both the family and the family business.
