Summary/Abstract: The issue of family entrepreneurship, which combines the basic social unit of the family with business activity, is considered special and discussed in this article. The research goal was to review publications and research in the economic sciences dedicated to the issue of family entrepreneurship and published by Polish researchers in the years 2018‒2023 (as of June 30, 2023). The results of the analyses have been prepared in a tabular format from the most recent to the oldest, grouped according to subject matter, indicating the author(s) along with title and year of publication, the thematic scope covered, the research carried out, results and final conclusions, and ended with a comment from the authors. The research allowed the topics, which included financing the activities of family businesses in Poland, owner‑successor relations and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the broad range of activities of family businesses. We also managed to define some cognitive gaps in academic work, including the place and role of women in the activities of corporate entities, the processes of internationalization of these enterprises, along with barriers and mobilizing factors in the succession process.
