First Asian invitational Conference on family Business
February 1 -3, 2008
Family businesses have been contributing to most industrial wealth
creation in all the Asian countries. But the factors and processes
that sustain family businesses as a thriving category have not been
of academic interest until recently. Similarly, it is only now that
business families and other stakeholders have started discussing the
challenges and possible approaches to perpetuating and growing
family wealth and happiness.
Organised by the Thomas Schmidheiny Chair of Family Business and
Wealth Management, this conference facilitates in the following
three ways, the process of filling these gaps and contributes to
building more vibrant family businesses in Asia:
Share research insights that benefit academics as well as
practitioners
Learn from the experiences of members of business families and
non-family professionals
Network and benefit from each other in multiple ways
