WEALTH PSYCHOLOGY AND TRANSGENERATIONAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT
The WIFU research area for wealth psychology and transgenerational wealth management focuses on essential aspects of transgenerational wealth management in family businesses. Psychological and cultural influences are essential for communication, cooperation, cognition and the consistency of relationships between the generations of entrepreneurs and within the generations. In the course of the digital and exponential changes in the past decade and especially in the immediate future, it is crucial to make transgenerational awareness and behaviour transparent, comprehensible and learnable. This new family business mindset is being researched and taught on various experimental and practical levels.
