Family-owned enterprises play a vital role in the global and Indian economy; however, managing leadership transitions across generations remains one of their most critical challenges. This session aims to provide students with a deeper understanding of succession planning, governance structures, and the strategic decisions involved in sustaining family businesses over time.
The programme encourages analytical thinking, professional awareness, and academic enrichment among students.
The session will be led by distinguished international academicians Dr. Michael Graffius, Professor of Business Administration at IU International University, Berlin, and Dr. Birgit Felden, Professor of SMEs and Company Development at the Berlin School of Economics and Law. Through expert insights and practical perspectives, participants will gain valuable exposure to real-world family business dynamics.
