Built to Last. Family businesses lead the way to sustainable growth
A survey in collaboration with the Family Business Network International (FBN-I). The aim of the survey was to gain an insight into how family businesses have continued to perform and remain relatively immune to the economic turbulences of the past years. We proved that as other businesses struggle to create revenue, the family business model remains more robust in the face of slow economic activity and the Eurozone crisis. Furthermore, by operating a different management style focused on long-term investment, family businesses are outperforming public companies, thus proving to be very successful.
