Abstract

Family businesses account for a major share of small-sized firms in several economies. Taking into account the global economic situation this trend is expected to continue. With the goal of better understanding the process of transferring the business to the next generation, which ensures a long-term success, expectations of student’s with family business background were investigated. This particular research addresses the issue of an individual’s perception of entrepreneurship and the related factors that influence individual’s decision on whether to build a career as an employee, a successor of family business or as an independent entrepreneur. Some Western and some South-Eastern European were separately analysed population for the purpose of comparative study. The results show important differences between investigated populations. It has been anticipated that differences are caused by historical, cultural and educational backgrounds. This challenging area is raising a lot of sub-questions for possible future research.
