About this listen

 R. Adam Smith welcomes Professor Matt Hughes, Schultz Distinguished Professor of Family Business and Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Leicester. Drawing from both academic research and practical insights, Matt discusses how family enterprise systems balance tradition with innovation. He explores the crucial role of corporate governance in unlocking entrepreneurial potential, the challenges of next-generation integration, and why emotional attachment can lead family firms to overestimate their financial performance. Matt also addresses philanthropic initiatives as mechanisms for engaging younger generations and cautions against rapid pivots that can trigger what he terms "entrepreneurial entropy."
