Summary/Abstract: Family firms are widely recognized as a “strategic source” of economic growth in all economies in the world. However, in order to develop in a long term these business entities need to successfully complete the process of succession. In this study we analyse what is the attitude towards succession of young people from entrepreneurial families. 203 students of economic faculties from three major Polish universities have been surveyed. The results indicate that the respondents represent rather weak attitudes towards succession. However there is a statistically significant correlation between the attitude towards succession and the size of the company as well as the current engagement of the respondent in business activities.
