10th Scientific Conference FAMILY BUSINESSES

Szanowni Państwo,

związku z sytuacją epidemiologiczną i działaniami mającymi na celu zapobieganie rozprzestrzenianiu się wirusa SARS-CoV-2, w trosce o zdrowie i bezpieczeństwo uczestników jesteśmy zmuszeni odwołać X Konferencję Naukową „Firmy Rodzinne”, zaplanowaną na 26-28 maja 2020 roku w Łodzi.

Mamy nadzieję, że uda się nam ją zorganizować po wakacjach. O nowym terminie poinformujemy, kiedy sytuacja będzie ustabilizowana. 

Mamy nadzieję, że nasza decyzja ta spotka się z Państwa zrozumieniem.

Natomiast pracujemy nad zgłoszonymi artykułami i przygotowaniem wydawnictwa. Zachęcamy tą drogą do złożenia publikacji osoby, które jeszcze tego nie zrobiły.

Za wszelkie niedogodności przepraszamy. 

Pozdrawiamy serdecznie,

Dear Madams and Sirs,

Due to the epidemiological situation and activities aimed at preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus, in the interests of the health and safety of participants, we are forced to cancel the 10th “Family Businesses” Scientific Conference, scheduled for May 26-28, 2020 in Lodz.

We hope to organize it after the holidays. We will inform you about the new date when the situation will be stabilized.

We hope that our decision will meet your understanding.

However, we are working on submitted articles and preparing the publishing house. This way, we encourage you to submit a publication to people who haven't done it yet.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

dr Andrzej Marjański                            prof. dr hab. Łukasz Sułkowski

Dear Madams and Sirs

It is a pleasure for us to invite you to the 10th ‘Family Businesses’ Scientific Conference. The intention underlying the organization of this year’s event is turning attention to multifaceted determinants of economic processes and identification of factors creating both development opportunities as well as sources of threats for family businesses operating in the global reality.

The objective of the Conference is the development of the interdisciplinary area for cooperation and exchange of experience of scholars and economic practitioners as well as expanding the cooperation of the two domains.

The formula of the Conference is based on the integration of the academic faculty achievements with the experience of business practitioners managing family businesses as well as on the confrontation of Polish and foreign experiences.

We do hope that the Conference will also be the place to establish and strengthen contacts to facilitate starting joint scientific research. We would appreciate it if you could inform your colleagues about our initiative. Your participation in the conference will be a great honor for us.
