Based upon literature review and a pilot case study, hypotheses are developed, relating several individual and organizational antecedents of entrepreneurship to three different family firm types. Most of the hypotheses are confirmed by an analysis carried out on a large random sample of small and medium-sized Swedish family firms. Further studies addressing the determinants of entrepreneurship in family firms and practitionersņ advice aimed at enhancing entrepreneurship in such companies would hence benefit from targeting their efforts on the specific family firm types they address.
