Abstract: Founded in 2005 by Babson College (USA) in collaboration with six academic institutions in Europe, the Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) Project is a global network of researchers and professionals whose objective is to assist family businesses, particularly in the implementation of transgenerational transmission. The project will focus research work on the creation of an entrepreneurial spirit within families and on the development of capacities allowing new generations to develop and perpetuate the business over the long term. This project also examines the innovative capacities of families in family businesses. Dr. Rodrigo Basco, who holds a PhD in management science from the Universidad Complutense of Madrid in Spain and is professor of management and entrepreneurship at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, is one of the most active members of the project. We asked him about the STEP Project and its contributions for research on family businesses and for families in business.
