Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore conceptual knowledge of entrepreneurial orientation by examining the moderating impact of family support. Theoretical model explains the importance and utility of an entrepreneurial orientation in the context of a family business. This study identifies ten dimensions in context to entrepreneurial orientation such as entrepreneur career, the transformation assimilation, entrepreneurial knowledge, innovation and idea generation, funds availability, entrepreneurial optimism, risk taking ability and recognising social and economic support by encompassing a moderating variable like family support. Based on the available literature from past studies in this paper, a conceptual framework has been constructed with ten major arguments (prepositions).
