The Family Business Dyad:
Enlivening Stewardship and Leadership
Hosted by the Asian Institute of Management –
Basant and Sarala Birla Professorial Chair
in Asian Family Corporations
24-27 April 2019
Symposium Theme
While sustainable growth, family leadership, and corporate governance can be major concerns for many family firms, there are new approaches in business management that can serve to address such challenges.
Our Family Business Asia Pacific Symposium 2019 entitled The Family-Business Dyad: Enlivening Stewardship and Leadership will tackle issues in family leadership, innovative organizational practices, and sustainable management.
The symposium will bring together members from the academe, family firms, and business advisors to discuss new trends in research on the topics of stewardship and responsible management; leadership and management of family firms; methodological innovations in researching family firms; and education models to foster responsible management.
The symposium aims to encourage family business representatives and academics to exchange knowledge, insights, and experiences. The discussions also provide space for family business advisors to consider their roles and the underlying dynamics of being business and family enablers.
