Abstract
Previous studies have shown the existence of a relationship between the ownership structure of a company and its operational performance. In this context, the empirical evidence reveals that after an initial public offering (IPO), companies experience a decline in their operational performance.

The results show that the particularities of the family firm do not turn into significant differences in operational performance after the listing process.
