Thought Leadership


Bringing the leading edge of research to family enterprise.

Despite the prominence of family enterprise in the broader US and global economy—some estimates have that these organizations at $68 trillion to global GDP and an engine that drives 64% of the US economy—the family enterprise ecosystem lacks a trusted source of research-informed insights. The Koch Center strives to bring this same rigor and relevance to family enterprise leaders, built upon Olin’s mission to provide world-changing business education, research and impact.

Building academic scholarship and translating this work into frameworks for action, the Koch Center brings insight to leaders of family organizations to support their enhanced professionalism, nuanced sophistication of long-term perspective, and wisdom in the way these leaders balance family and business purpose.
