Policy Report.
Dublin City University.
The National Centre for Family Business (NCFB) was founded ten years ago. This 10-year anniversary report presents an opportunity to reflect on its success, from vision to reality. The NCFB is now one of Europe’s leading family business research centres. Since its founding in 2013, the NCFB has engaged with more than 1,500 family businesses in Ireland and internationally, providing practical business insights informed by best practice and cutting-edge research.
The NCFB is situated within the internationally leading DCU Business School, accredited by the prestigious Association of MBAs (AMBA), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the Small Business Charter (SBC). This fortuitous placement affords access to world-class research networks and attracts leading family businesses to co-create actionable insights. We are committed to three pillars of excellence: research, education and engagement. These pillars guide our strategic goals annually and dictate specific actions and indicators of success. You can celebrate with us by reading about our phenomenal success across the three pillars over the first ten years in this report '10 Years at the Forefront of Family Business Research in Ireland'.
