ABSTRACT

Globalization is a conception that includes uncertainty and paradox on its many dimensions from definition to analysis. On one hand, different definitions and analysis excluding other branches are brought up by specialists and scientists; on the other hand, some events that are asymmetric for each other take place in the context of globalization. This process causes some assertions that some specialists introduce globalization as a useful and beautiful thing; by the way, globalization is a main reason of thin line between existence and non-existence for some real lives. While there are some differences of comprehensions and meanings, some economic, cultural and technological factors attain great speed at global scale as a reality.

Entrepreneurship is one of the conceptions to which this complexity reflects in the globalization process. Entrepreneurship has got a meaning because of the model ‘homo oeconomicus’ in respect of the rationality principle of economics; in addition, it gets cultural and politic meanings via globalization. In this situation, entrepreneur’s minds confuse and entrepreneur compresses between locality and globality. Family entrepreneurship is a conception on which this complexity is seen.

In family enterprises, the processes of which the boundaries are pervious between being ‘family’ and being ‘firm’ are experienced. Sensual connections of family and rationality of family enterprise are in conflict. In this context, the institutions of capitalism predominate due to globalization. By the way, family transforms to an institution that experiences metamorphism from being a sociological conception to being an economic conception.
