N2 - Drawing on threshold theory, we examine the effects of attributes of alternative opportunities on persistence decisions of family business entrepreneurs. The results of our conjoint experiment show that: (a) family business entrepreneurs are generally more persistent than other entrepreneurs and (b) family business entrepreneurs focus more on non-financial benefits than other entrepreneurs. Our study contributes to persistence literature within the family business context and provides a good basis for how family business literature can benefit from multi-level theoretical and empirical modelling.
