About the WIFU lecture series

The WIFU lecture series, entitled “Family Business Research between Scientific Accuracy and Business Relevance,” invites participants to gain an overview of the spectrum of global research on family businesses and entrepreneurial families. The aim is to show that the described conflict between accuracy and relevance does not necessarily have to be irresolvable.

The core element of the WIFU lecture series are the lectures held in German or English, to which external speakers are often invited. The lectures are held approximately three times per semester as in-person or online events. In addition to researchers and students, all interested parties are welcome to attend.
