Dissertations at the WIFU contain valuable findings from extensive research. These insights should also find their way into business practice: This is where you will find dissertations revised for practical use, which offer added value for readers from our target groups.

Alongside the WIFU publication series, subjects from family business research are also of great interest to other renowned publishers. WIFU researchers have published numerous books on subjects which cover the entire range of the research spectrum.

Lectures at the most diverse of events encapsulate our expertise. Be it internal events, discussion groups at meetings and conferences or in workshops – our expert knowledge attracts great interest.
