Dr hab. Joanna Sadkowska, prof. UG from the Department of Strategic Development of the Faculty of Management at the University of Gdańsk has been elected to the Scientific Council of the FaBeRNET Family Business Research Network for the 2024-2027 term.
FaBeRNet (Family Business Research Network) is an initiative to create a network of cooperation between scientists representing all Polish scientific centres involved in research on family business issues. On behalf of the University of Gdańsk, dr hab. Anna Nikodemska-Wołowik, prof. UG from the Faculty of Economics and dr Olga Martyniuk from the Faculty of Management have actively participated in FaBeRNet's activities since its establishment.
‘The importance of family-owned businesses for the development of any economy worldwide is crucial. Even though family-owned entities are an increasingly better-understood group, there are still research areas worthy of in-depth analysis. From this point of view, the activities of FaBeRNet are important and necessary. In turn, I treat my participation in the Scientific Council as a distinction and a challenge in the context of my involvement in the dissemination of research results in the field of family entrepreneurship,' says prof. Joanna Sadkowska.
The tasks of FaBeRNet include, among others:
- conducting scientific research in the area of family entrepreneurship (FE)
- initiating and leading a discussion on challenges facing family enterprises
- disseminating good practices concerning research in the FE field
- initiating new lines of research in the FE field
- animating and organising joint research, educational and organisational projects
- organising joint research, educational and organisational projects
- promoting research and education
- supporting young researchers in their scientific endeavours
