Abstract

An average of approximately 70% of companies operate as family business both in Hungary and in the EU, thus it is an important question what characterizes the question of succession. The aim of this research is to answer to the question whether among students it is typical to carry on family business or they would rather set up an own one. I will try to answer to this question by means of a national survey among higher education students. My aim is to analyze the characteristics of those students who intend to carry on the family business. The main result of this research is that higher education students would like to start a new enterprise after their study rather than carry on the family business.
