This transcendent feature is subject to analyze from the perspective of economic and administrative sciences. The objective of this work is to understand the family influence Mexico craft workshops. The sample was composed of 48 workshops belonging to five States of the Mexican Republic inside which are Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Coahuila, San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas.
