Conference theme: “Coping with Disruptions: Family Firm Continuity and Sustainability in Times of Rapid Change”

Program Co-Chairs: Anita Van Gils and Ilse Matser, Windesheim University of Applied Sciences

The International Family Enterprise Research Academy, IFERA, invites papers that add knowledge to the selected conference theme “Coping with disruptions: Family firm continuity and sustainability in times of rapid change”.

In addition, we invite papers on all aspects of family business research, including but not limited to succession, leadership, governance, entrepreneurship, innovation, strategy, marketing, organizational behavior, sociology, family psychology, history, economics, finance and accounting, as well as topics that lie at the intersection of these and other interrelated disciplines.

All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome. As “engaged scholarship” is highly valued in the conference host organization, researchers are encouraged to reflect, next to the theoretical contribution, on the practical implications of their studies.
