Events & Exchange

When science encounters family entrepreneurship, a lively exchange originates. With the help of various programs/formats, the FIF provides an inspiring platform for networking and the exchange between family entrepreneurs, successors and students. All FIF events unify that they are familiar, informal and interactive – and tackle the topic family firm from different perspectives.

FIF EVENTS

"Familienklatsch"

Familienklatsch: Discussions with family entrepreneurs

Initiated in the fall of 2008 - In various constellations, we invite family entrepreneurs to come to Zeppelin University to our "Familienklatsch". In an open and relaxed atmosphere, we discuss central issues of the successful management of family businesses: What is typical of a family business, and what makes it so different most of the time? How do you continue to run a family business when you are the son or the daughter, and how when you are an external managing director? And why are so many family entrepreneurs hidden champions?

With only 30 to 50 students and other interested parties, the circle of participants is small and encourages debates. Professor Dr Andreas Wiedemann, who is a honorary professor at the Friedrichshafen Institute of Family Entrepreneurship as well as an expert on family businesses due to his work as a partner in the Stuttgart law office of Hennerkes, Kirchdörfer und Lorz, takes on the role of a moderator.
