Family business is quite common form of doing business in Macedonia and the Balkans. There are
two ways of operating: by starting family business or by inheritance. In both cases there is equal
amount of advantages and disadvantages which have a beneficial or detrimental effect on business.
On the side of advantages are: being your own boss, flexible working hours, long-term job security
for members of the family, possibility to increase family wealth, work with people you know and
trust, possibility to engage in various aspects of the business and to acquire a variety of skills.
There are also some disadvantages, e.g. disputes can disrupt business or family values, there is no
strict line between business life and private life, family conflicts may have reflection on business
and vice versa, financial risk is higher than usual, higher stress at work and in private life, less
"private" time and more obligations, etc. Modern tobacco economy requires good management of
all activities and proper motivation of the engaged members. It will help to achieve higher
effectiveness in work, lower production costs, increased productivity and better supply of

skills, with special emphasis on motivation of the involved members in order to improve and
increase the quality of the overall production process. Besides, reliable family business requires a
