WIFU lecture series: "Succession dynamics in a long-lived Japanese family business"

Renowned researchers from Germany and abroad are regular guests at WIFU and provide insights into current research on the topic of family entrepreneurship.

On 17 June, participants can look forward to a lecture by Professor Yasuhiro Ochiai, who teaches management and computer science at Shizuoka University in Japan, in which he will provide insights into the organization and management of family businesses in Japan. In particular, he will discuss the dynamics of succession in a traditional family business.

The lecture will be held in English.

About the WIFU lecture series

The WIFU lecture series entitled "Family business research between scientific accuracy and entrepreneurial relevance" invites participants to gain an overview of the range of global research on family businesses and business families. The aim is to make it clear that the described dichotomy between accuracy and relevance does not necessarily have to be irresolvable.

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