Opportunities and Challenges in Family Office Research

Sunday, Jul 27 | 10:15AM - 11:45AM | Bella Center in Hall B-B4-m2

Family offices (FOs) are emerging as critical yet understudied actors in entrepreneurship and strategy. This panel symposium brings together leading scholars to explore how FOs differ from other investors, the theoretical and empirical challenges of studying them, and the rich opportunities they present for advancing management research.

Join us to help build the conversation around this exciting and growing area of research!

What to Expect:

• A moderated panel discussion on two themes:
  (1) New Research Opportunities in FO Research
  (2) Empirical and Data Challenges in FO Research
• Q&A session with audience participation
• Topical Roundtables organized by theme to continue the conversation and promote idea exchange
