Seminar series: “Rigor and Relevance in Family Business Research”

The “Rigor and Relevance in Family Business Research” seminar series is a monthly gathering of the members of the Centre for Family Business Management (CFBM), to which also other senior members, postdocs, PhD students, and visiting scholars of the Faculty of Economics & Management are invited. Meeting are organized every last Friday of the month. At these meetings, members of the CFBM present their research or research ideas to gather feedback from a crowd of scholars with diverse backgrounds and interests. Occasionally, we also host guest speakers from our or another institution to present their work, and to bring in some fresh outside perspectives and feedback on our own research. Hence, if you are working (or are planning to work) on research (ideas) centered on or related to family businesses or business families and are interested to present your family business-related work at one of our planned meetings, please do not hesitate to contact us such that we can try to incorporate those contributions in one of our meetings!
