Family businesses are uniquely well positioned to address intense marketplace competition and volatility by using strengths drawn from their family heritage and value systems. The Wharton Global Family Alliance (GFA) is a private forum for global families that control substantial enterprises and resources to engage with leading Wharton faculty researchers in the areas of wealth management, philanthropy, and family business governance.
