Family Business Survey
 

Family business – the balance for success
Colliding generational perspective and reinvigorating successful family businesses

​

​

​

 

The latest survey looked at how family businesses are faring in areas from communication to conflict, finances to the future.

​

Insights from the inside
 

Lift the lid on how these vital enterprises are striking the balance between the well being of the business and the family.

​

The ninth Family Business Survey from Family Business Australia (FBA) and KPMG Enterprise, in collaboration with the University of Adelaide’s Family Business Education and Research Group (FBERG) presents viewpoints from two generations, both the current business leader and the next generation (NXG) of the same family business.

​

Family businesses have colliding perspectives on how they are placed when it comes to many aspects of their well being – with the incumbent generation often a lot more optimistic than the next generation waiting in the wings.

​

The 2018 report and accompanying video interviews dive into areas such as future growth and performance, communication and conflict, transition strategies, confidence and commitment, and governance for the future, to see what family business members really think, and what needs to be done to ensure they are sustainable well into the future.
