Abstract

Despite the increased interest in family business as a field of research, many studies still lack theoretically sound and empirically robust measures and models (Dyer and Hoy 2003; Carsrud 2006). While entrepreneurial intentions are a highly established area of entrepreneurship research, it seems that intentions of family members to enter (not enter, or even exit) the family firm are rather under-researched. Our understanding of why family members intend to join the family firm (or not) appears to be mostly based on individual cases, or mythological. Similarly, the intentions of founders to pass (or not transfer) their business to the next generation are still under-researched.
