• Innovative strength of family businesses has great potential

  Type: Research

  Publication date: 11/1/2017

  The outcomes of research on innovation in family businesses debunk the myth that family businesses are not innovative.

Family business owners are more supportive of innovation policy than owners of non-family businesses. At the same time, the study shows that when more financial resources are available, nearly one-third of family businesses will be more innovative. Family businesses are therefore on par with other types of businesses when it comes to innovation.

• Will we drown under the wave of Industry 4.0?

  Type: Opinion

  Publication date: 10/11/2017

  Digital transformation, spearheaded by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, robotics, biotechnology and the Internet of Things, is likely to push societies towards economic and political instability.

As politicians scramble to resolve these issues, the resulting decline in taxes and business subsidies is likely to make governing problematic.
