The Family Enterprise Research Conference (FERC) in association with Universidad del Desarrollo in Chile are pleased to welcome you to the 9th Family Enterprise Research Conference: Closing the gap between emerging and developed economies. This version of the conference will be held between May 17 and 19 of 2013 in Chile at the beautiful coastal city of Viña del Mar.
The Conference will gather scholars from all over the world who are interested in creating and disseminating knowledge on the family enterprise, which remains the most common and often less studied type of organization.
