With more than 20 years of expertise in the unique dynamics of family enterprises, the Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise is a leading international resource for family business.
The Wendel Centre for Family Enterprise has adopted a wider advocacy role by raising awareness and understanding of the importance of family enterprise as a business model: Family firms represent the most prevalent type of companies worldwide. Family firms are capable of outperforming other firms and they are proven to be among the most successful in the long-term.
In 1997, Wendel founded the Large Family Firm Chair and INSEAD offered the first Family Business MBA elective. Since then INSEAD has continuously generated research, thought-leadership and leadership programs for and about family businesses.
As one of the world’s leading and largest graduate business schools, INSEAD offers participants a truly global educational experience. With campuses in Europe (France), Asia (Singapore) and Middle East (Abu Dhabi), and alliances with top institutions, INSEAD’s business education and research spans around the globe.

In addition, more than 11,000 executives participate in INSEAD’s executive education programs each year.
