Abstract
The present research concentrates on the areas of ethnic groups and entrepreneurship. Following a short outline of theoretical aspects of the concepts of entrepreneurship and ethnicity, this paper presents preliminary empirical data from an ongoing qualitative research in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The initial findings of this research point to the fact that entrepreneurs were influenced in their majority by negative 'push' factors towards self-employment. They made use of extensive networks of identity, family and community resources to acquire business information and inside knowledge of market opportunities and have a strong family aspiration; family participation and support is clearly evident in almost all cases.
