Exploring the Future of Family Businesses and Family Offices

In April, a group of family business owners, their next generations, and professionals working for family businesses and family offices engaged in an insightful discussion on the challenges and opportunities for family businesses and family offices. The seminar was hosted by the HKUST Business School and its Roger King Center for Asian Family Business and Family Office, and conducted by Professor Denise H. KENYON-ROUVINEZ, a renowned expert, educator and book author in the field.

Prof. Kenyon-Rouvinez shed light on the major issues facing the evolvement of family businesses and family offices in the changing business landscape.
