Welcome to FOBI
The Grand Valley State University's Family Owned Business Institute's mission is to promote, preserve, influence, and impact family businesses through quality academic research, curriculum, and information services. This web resource is designed to serve the needs of family businesses, researchers and scholars in the field of family business. The site offers a wide array of resources that allow you to conduct all your research from one easy-to-access online source. Through this web resource, you can explore central issues in family business from succession planning, to international university curriculum. This massive source of information has been acquired through numerous resources such as journals, books, magazines, databases, library indexes, and so much more. We filter each of these, and analyze critical data relating to family businesses. From here, we then organize all of this information to make it easy for you to find exactly what you're looking for!
