The aim of this research was to find out whether family businesses create better opportunities for their economic sustainability in comparison with non-family businesses. That is, whether family businesses are more responsible in preparing for crises than non-family businesses. Having a sustainable business means being prepared for potential threats of all kinds. Research was carried out in 2019 on a sample of 2300 family and non-family enterprises. On the basis of statistically processed results, a minimum of significant differences in preparation for the crisis was identified. Even the basic hypothesis about a more responsible approach by family businesses to prepare for the crisis could not be accepted. It could not be noted that family businesses are building better conditions for their economic sustainability. The implication for praxis is to encourage owners to involve the family more in the preparation for crises, including development of formalised tools. Predetermined tools will help in solving crises that threaten the source of livelihoods of the whole family. The comparison of family and non-family businesses in this area, as yet unexplored, has the potential to contribute to the deepening of research in both crisis management and family business, which is the main contribution to the theoretical field.

谁更可持续？家族企业还是非家族企业？捷克证据

本研究的目的是找出与非家族企业相比，家族企业是否为其经济可持续性创造了更好的机会。也就是说，家族企业在危机准备方面是否比非家族企业更负责。拥有可持续发展的业务意味着为各种潜在威胁做好准备。2019 年对 2300 家家族企业和非家族企业进行了样本研究。根据统计处理的结果，确定了危机准备方面的最小显着差异。即使是关于家族企业采取更负责任的方式为危机做准备的基本假设也不能被接受。值得注意的是，家族企业正在为其经济可持续性创造更好的条件。实践的含义是鼓励所有者让家庭更多地参与危机准备，包括开发正式工具。预先确定的工具将有助于解决威胁整个家庭生计来源的危机。家族企业与非家族企业在这一领域的比较尚未探索，有可能有助于深化危机管理和家族企业的研究，这是对理论领域的主要贡献。
