Research - Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The Global Center for Family Enterprise (GCFE) is part of the TUM School of Management of the Technical University Munich. We are located at the Bildungscampus in Heilbronn, Germany.It is our mission to not only create but especially disseminate our knowledge.The GCFE focuses on the interplay between the "family" and the "enterprise". In particular, its unique research focus lies in creating a deeper understanding on topics related to strategy, innovation, transgenerational entrepreneurship as well as governance in family enterprises and its potential impact on family enterprises. It is of utmost importance for the GCFE to take an interdisciplinary research approach by incorporating diverse perspectives (e.g. psychological, sociological, economic, legal) to examine family enterprise behavior. The Center's research is mostly evidence-based and its goal is to achieve academic excellence while researching highly relevant topics.
