Family Business Response to Federal Disaster Assistance

该项目涉及培训本科生和研究生;特别是，研究生将接触到一个高度复杂的数据收集，合并和分析过程。研究人员计划通过课堂教学、网络广播/研讨会和学术期刊进行传播。研究人员将发现灾难如何影响家族企业，但更重要的是，家族企业如何从灾难中恢复。这将是相当有用的那些寻求促进灾害和业务连续性规划的小型和家庭企业。

The project involves training undergraduates and graduate students; in particular, graduate students will be exposed to a highly sophisticated data gathering, merging, and analysis process. And the investigators plan to use classroom teaching, web broadcasts/seminars, and scholarly journals for dissemination.The researchers will find out how disasters impact family businesses, but, more importantly, how family businesses recover from disasters. This will be of considerable use to those seeking to promote disaster- and business continuity planning for small and family businesses.
