The key role of non-agricultural economic activity in the transformation process as well as in giving up monofunctionality of Polish villages gave rise to the necessity to precisely analyse its character and to define its types. The presented analysis of non-agricultural economic activity was based on interviews with local authorities and on primary data for 1996-2003, gathered from registers of economic activity in offices of thirty-six communes in Mazovian Voivodship (NUTS II). The results of studies showed, however, that complication of social, economic, legal and cultural conditions resulted in quite new types of entrepreneurship run in surveyed communes during transition. The further stage of analysis enabled us to define eight new, untypical (when compared to classical definition) forms of entrepreneurship, which differ considerably from entrepreneurship types described in literature. These are: fictious, constrained and sub-contractual economic activities, economic activity registered alternatively among family members, as well as seasonal, cyclic, occasional and ‘sleeping’ economic activities.
