Family businesses have significant opportunities, but also face significant and unique challenges balancing the competing needs and interests of the business, family and ownership. If nearly 80 percent of the businesses in the United States are family-owned, employ over 60 percent of the population and consistently outperform publicly held companies, then why do so few transfer successfully to the next generation?
Saint Joseph’s University’s Initiative for Family Business and Entrepreneurship provides family businesses the support, guidance and tools necessary to increase long-term competitiveness, ownership prosperity and family unity for generations to come. Backed by the Haub School of Business, we are the region’s only university based support for family business.
Come spend the evening with IFBE. Speak to our team, talk to other members and spend the evening deciding if we can help you and your business in any way.
Where: Saint Joseph's University, The Haub School of Business.
Topic: Succession and Beyond: Creating a Successful Transition
Description: Transition is a process, not an event, and every family business should be actively engaged. Families are encouraged to attend this seminar together to develop whole family strategies that support their entrepreneurial and dynamic leaders in their respective transitions to the next phase.
Is your family business built upon a strong cornerstone or sinking sand? Join the IFBE on May 21st as we explore how a deliberate focus on inclusiveness, transparency and communication can lay a timeless and lasting foundation for sustainability, both as an innovation-driven business and as a legacy for generations to come. We will reveal the secrets to sustainability by exploring case studies of families that have been successful, and your family will have an opportunity to identify communication and inclusiveness strategies that will help manage and reduce conflict within your family business.
