Entrepreneurial leadership during generational transition: From the individual entrepreneur to an organisation that acts entrepreneurially

The WIFU Lunch & Learn combines academic findings with their practical application in family businesses and among entrepreneurial families.

How can entrepreneurship, during a generational transition, be embedded throughout the entire organisation rather than being tied solely to individual leaders? Miriam Simon (WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management) provides insights into current research and demonstrates how employees can be empowered to act entrepreneurially and make decisions on their own initiative. The focus is on key prerequisites in leadership and corporate culture that can strengthen family businesses’ capacity for innovation and adaptability.

The discussion with Miriam Simon and the participants will be moderated by Prof. Dr Nadine Kammerlander (WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management).
