WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
A quarter of a century since the publication of bull's eye framework, the 2003 update to “Family Businesses Contribution to the U.S. Economy” is still one of the most cited papers when it comes to the impact of family businesses on the overall U.S. economy. In 2020, Torsten Pieper and a team of researchers decided to revise and improve the original findings of Astrachan and Shanker (2003) on the basis of more recent data. These findings measure the influence of family businesses across three categories, defined by the degree of family involvement in the businesses. As research on family businesses has developed greatly over the past decades, there was a strong likelihood that Torsten and his team could derive the update on recent data from extant empirical research. However, that assumption was disproved after an examination of the existing literature. As a consequence, this present update relies in part on empirical data collected specifically for this purpose. With support from Family Enterprise USA, this research is timely and critical in the face of a global pandemic and dramatic economic disruptions over the past 20 years.
