Workshop Objectives:
This workshop seeks to offer a platform for in-depth discussions that broaden our understanding of what truly counts in family businesses. While traditional measures of success (such as profit margins, market share, and return on investment) are essential, this workshop aims to highlight the hidden drivers of success that shape the culture, governance, and sustainability of family firms. We aim to:
- Explore interdisciplinary approaches that integrate emotional, spiritual, cultural, and health dimensions in family business research.
- Foster a dialogue between scholars and practitioners to share insights on improving family business leadership, resilience, and well-being.
- Identify new avenues for research and practice that can inform the future development of family businesses globally.
