Abstract
Although the subject of entrepreneurship has long been studied and the family business is considered to be the dominant form of organization in the world (Hoy 2012), there have still been calls for more research and studies that connects entrepreneurship and family systems (family and business) (Aldrich 2003). The paper will draw on an empirical study of a Romanian family business through in-depth interviewing. The results will be two folded: a conceptual framework will be developed from a perspective of community of practice (social learning) and one case study of a successful Romanian family business will be presented with potential for further development in this direction.
