Family Business Barometer
Family Business Barometer
The Family Business Barometer gauges the economic expectations of family businesses in Belgium.
In the project, researchers examined what the Belgian business landscape looks like and what opportunities and challenges Belgian entrepreneurs see for the near future. The Family Business Barometer shows in a scientifically based way the state of family businesses in Flanders. The barometer includes the responses of family businesses and non-family businesses. The following themes were included:
- State of the company: regarding employment, investments, finances
- Prospects and plans: regarding employment, investments, international activities, acquisitions
- Challenges/difficulties: now and in the future
- Evaluation of socio-economic environment
- Evaluation of policy measures
The Family Business Barometer is based on a questionnaire of a representative sample of hundreds of family and non-family businesses. Literature and interviews were used for the questions. This ensured quality over quantity.
The aim is to survey the same companies every year. That way, they can be followed individually over time and their evolution can be gauged.
