Abstract
Intergenerational transfer of professional norms is the integral attribute of dynasty. Russian business dynasties have some special characteristics caused by the short history of entrepreneurship development in the country and its transitive status. Basically informal norms and rules are transferred according to the results of analysis of bio interviews with small business founders and owners. Based on the results of the analysis of narratives the author identifies the following informal norms: not to work with non-family members, maintain family reputation, share authority, and focus on choosing partners among family companies. However the future norms transfer is in question due to the instability of business sphere in Russia: this does not allow us to form stable normative models of behavior, and requires their constant adaptation to changing conditions. The norms of professional activity are reproduced more successfully when the business is inherited in accordance with the successor's own interests, motives and ambitions. In turn, the passive (forced) model of the status transmission does not contribute to the active transfer of rules and norms to the next generation.
