Dear Colleagues:
The Family Owned Business Institute (FOBI) at Grand Valley State University invites applicants to submit research proposals for the 2008 FOBI Research Scholars Program. The competitive program provides for four $5000 research awards. The purpose of the Scholars Program is to encourage faculty to conduct high quality research with an emphasis on family business issues. Research may involve a broad range of issues and methodologies including theoretical, empirical, case study, and other.
To further support the research efforts in the field, FOBI has recently formed an alliance with the Family Enterprise Research Conference (FERC) to encourage proposal submissions aligned with the 2009 FERC Conference theme of "Ethical, Environmental, and Stakeholder Issues in Family Firm Management", and to also jointly recognize FOBI scholars as part of the annual FERC Conference which will be taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA April 18-20, 2008.
