Baltic Family Firms Institute - ECGI Conference 2025
Ends on
3rd Baltic Family Firm Institute - ECGI Conference
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 1 February 2025 (at midnight CEST).
“Empowering Family Enterprise: Professionalisation and Community Impact”
9-10 June 2025
ABOUT THE EVENT
The professionalisation of family enterprise is essential for navigating the complexities of governance, family dynamics, succession planning, and societal impact. Aligning business objectives with family values requires a structured approach to managing both financial and socioemotional priorities and challenges. The conference will explore how professional governance frameworks, investment vehicles such as family offices and family investment companies, and social impact strategies and philanthropy can provide diversification opportunities, competitive advantage, and help manage family dynamics and succession challenges thereby ensuring the continuity of family enterprise across generations.
This event is part of the Family Capitalism pillar of the ECGI’s Responsible Capitalism project.
The conference organizers are inviting researchers to submit recent papers or extended abstracts on family firm topics. Papers that touch on family business indirectly but offer valuable insights are also welcome. Each paper will be assigned a discussant, and time will be provided for questions and comments from the audience
IMPORTANT DATES
A selection will be made by the conference scientific committee from papers and abstracts that are submitted before the deadline of 1 February 2024 (at midnight CEST).
