Abstract

Contemporary enterprises are still looking for ways and methods of achieving a competitive advantage, which invariably include entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial orientation is an organizational construct consisting of five dimensions: proactivity, innovation, competitive aggressiveness, autonomy and risk taking. Family businesses show a significant specificity of functioning in many areas due to the dominant influence of the family on the management of such entities. It is not a uniform group, and individual companies may significantly differ, e.g. depending on the profile of their activity. However, in cases, organizational culture can determine the level of entrepreneurial orientation of the organization. In this article, research efforts focus on differences in the level of entrepreneurial orientation and building an entrepreneurial culture depending on the profile of the business. The conclusions were based on the results of the own questionnaire survey conducted among 118 small family businesses in Poland.
