Abstract

The paper proposed a theoretical approach to determine the possible relationship between entrepreneurial intention of the younger members of family businesses and entrepreneurial orientation of these family businesses. We ask whether the fact of belonging to a family business have more entrepreneurial attitude in their younger members. Another issue of concern is whether this attitude is related to the gender of the younger members. We propose a model to analyze the entrepreneurial intention and conduct a simple comparative study in a group of students in a course on "family business" in which some students are members of family businesses and some students do not belong to family businesses.
