Centre for Family Business
The Centre for Family Business at Lancaster University Management School exists to provide rigorous international research applied to real world family business researchers in the UK.
The importance of family business cannot be underestimated as they are the most prevalent form of business organisation globally and contribute significantly to wealth creation throughout the world. In the UK they account for approximately half of the economic activity and private employment. However, family businesses are frequently overlooked in management theory and many find that the existing models and advice do not fit their circumstances.
Here at the Centre for Family Business we have a vision to put family business at the forefront of management thinking and policy making.
