Summary/Abstract: The support of entrepreneurial behaviors, creating appropriate conditions for establishing and developing businesses are key success factors in the process of building the new socio-economic order in Poland, in which the market economy rules, knowledge and other intangible resources determine progress and civilization level of the nation. Family enterprises play a substantial role in the process regarding their population, their capabilities of accumulating family financial resources for business development in the conditions of limited capital possibilities in the emerging economy as well as their distinguishing capabilities of creating valuable intangible resources. The interest in this business formula has been continually increasing in Poland since the mid nineties of the XX c. The idea of family business support brings academic communities, authorities of different levels and the very entrepreneurs together. However, in spite of the progress in enhancing knowledge on family business functioning and developing they haven’t managed to work out and accept a scientific paradigm in this matter and to create regular, common and effective system of transferring the knowledge to practice. The basic channel of the regular transfer seem to be management faculties of higher schools, obliged to adjust their curricula to the needs and expectations of the most numerous group of business entities.
