ABOUT THE EVENT

The conference will focus on how family-owned enterprises can harness their long-term vision and values to strengthen the sustainability of both the firm and its stakeholders. Research on sustainability in family businesses is still in its early stage. The discussion will revolve around the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the next generation of family business leaders, and practical guidance for family enterprises shaping the future. This event is part of the Family Capitalism pillar of the ECGI’s Responsible Capitalism project.

The aim of the academic track of the conference is to attract current research papers in the field of family businesses. The conference organizers are inviting researchers to submit recent papers or extended abstracts on family business topics. Each paper will be assigned a discussant, and time will be provided for questions and comments from the audience. 

IMPORTANT DATES

A selection will be made by the conference scientific committee from papers and abstracts that are submitted before the deadline of 1 February 2024 (at midnight CEST). Researchers will be notified whether their paper has been accepted for the conference before 1 March 2024. Program queries should be directed to Anete Pajuste (anete.pajuste@sseriga.edu).
