Center for Family Business
Mission Statement
The Creighton University Center for Family Business focuses on family-owned businesses and the families that own and operate them. As an academic institution, Creighton University can provide independent impartial resources, research and outreach to family businesses. Not only is the Center for Family Business a forum for idea exchange and networking, but is also an ongoing repository of information to assist families in the process of family ownership and transition.
Academically, the Center is housed within the College of Business and will encompass all areas of study that touch family ownership and family interpersonal relationships. The relationship and dynamics of how a family operates in connection with its governance and ownership of a business is a part of the holistic approach of the Center.
We hope to engage the greater Creighton community through thoughtful and thought provoking speakers, forums, printed materials and internet access to resources for family businesses. The value of the Center for Family Business will increase as families add their experience to that of the business and academic community, along with the help and encouragement of our sponsors.
