SUMMARY:Family owned businesses: Managing risks\, maintaining stability?
DESCRIPTION:Family owned businesses account for more than 60% of companie
 s in Europe – in Switzerland\, the share is even higher. According to th
 e 2023 EY and University of StGallen Family Business Index\, the largest
  family businesses grow much faster than the global economy. While some 
 studies concur with this assessment and suggest that they outperform oth
 er businesses and generate better margins\, others come to the opposite 
 conclusion. In the current environment it is worthwhile to evoke the res
 ults of a study published in 2021 in the Harvard Business Review\, accor
 ding to which in times of economic recessions family-run businesses perf
 orm far better than others.\n\nA panel of experienced business leaders o
 f family-run companies will discuss whether and to what extent family-ru
 n companies are more resilient in difficult times\, how they cope with t
 he current challenging environment\, and what makes them different from 
 their peers with a different ownership structure.\n
