Our Team

The ACFB has assembled the largest group of active family business researchers in the Asia Pacific region. As well as being involved in ongoing family business research projects, team members provide multidisciplinary guidance to the ACFB’s intellectual agenda, and consider applications for research grants in the field of family business.

The ACFB team is comprised of prominent Bond University faculty members from several research disciplines. In addition, the ACFB welcomes adjunct faculty members and is committed to establishing a community of scholars made up of active family business researchers from other Australian institutions where the academic study of family business is not seen as a priority.
