Abstract

Research has shown that the family environment is one of the factors that shapes a person's entrepreneurial intentions, thereby leading to the production of entrepreneurs. Although several studies exist, none seem to have adopted the approach employed in this chapter. Premised on that, the chapter employed a teaching case approach to explain the influence of family environment in promoting entrepreneurial intentions and the proliferation of entrepreneurs. Guided by one research question, namely “How does the family environment promote entrepreneurial intention?” the chapter analysed three cases from Chinese Indonesia, Turkey, and Tunisia building on the theoretical strengths of the theory of planned behaviour and social cognitive theory. These theories were employed to analyse how family environment promoted entrepreneurial intentions in the countries mentioned. Findings from the analysis in the three cases highlighted revealed that the family environment through the instrumentality of role modelling and support for autonomy promotes entrepreneurial intentions.
